Android ListView, start new activity

Hey can someone tell me how I can start an activity by pressing an item in a listview?

I have fixed it i think because i get no error messages, but when i start this activity (Videos) the app crashes and wants to force close. Whats the problem?

Here is the source code:

package com.alpha.liveshit;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class Videos extends ListActivity {

    String[] elements = {"video", "menu"};

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.videos); 
        ListView listview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        listview.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, elements));
    }

    public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v, int position, long id) {

        if ("video".equals(elements[position])) { 
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(Videos.this, Lars.class);
            startActivity(myIntent);
        }
        else if ("menu".equals(elements[position])) {
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(Videos.this, MenuActivity.class);
            startActivity(myIntent);
        }
    }
}

Remove that

setContentView(R.layout.videos); 
ListView listview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);

and replace it with that

ListView listview = getListView();

You're using a ListActivity. You may not set a content view on a ListActivity(it already contains a ListView)
