Hi had same problem. What I suspect you need is an AdapterView.OnItemClickListener. This captures events when the item is clicked. OnItemSelected appears to capture when the list item gains focus such as when the DPad buttons are used to shift focus. Change all your "selected" 's to"click" 's and things should be dandy.
