Adding an onClick directive to a ListView stops the application from working

I have a listview which I populate with data using a selfmade class. It works like a charm. I want to add a functionality for touching one of the list items. Therefor, I add a call using the onClick directive like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  >
  <ListView
    android:id="@+id/android:list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:onClick="ScanBearbeiten"
    />
  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/tx_NoScans"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:text="@string/main_no_items"
    />
</LinearLayout>

However, as soon as I add the onClick directive seen above, the application stops to work. The setContentView() for the开发者_StackOverflow中文版 layout stops with the following stack trace:

I know how to get around the problem, but I am interested why this is happening. Is it not possible to define a static onClick listener for a listview? The designer in Eclipse offers this as valid functionality. Or is this a bug?

Thanks.

You need to call setOnItemClickListener instead of onclicklistener. For buttons you can use onItemCl

ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                    long arg3) {

            }
        });
