Hi Bob, since you are using ListActivity, you can override onListItemClick instead of creating new OnItemClickListener. More information here
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ListActivity.html#onListItemClick(android.widget.ListView, android.view.View, int, long) That should fix your problem.
