How to click a ListView item in Android

Question

I'm trying to have another activity launch when a list item gets clicked. Below is my code:

public class AvoidForeclosure extends CustomListTitle {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private DbAdapter db;
private SimpleCursorAdapter clients;

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

    ListView list = getListView();

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    this.title.setText("Avoid Foreclosure");

    db = new DbAdapter(this);
    db.open();

    fillData();

    list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        public void onItemClick( AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id ) {

                int viewId = view.getId();

                TextView theView = (TextView) findViewById(viewId);

                String name = theView.getText().toString();

                Cursor clientData = db.getClientByName(name);

                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setClass(view.getContext(), CurrentMarketValue.class);
                intent.putExtra("clientId", clientData.getInt(0));
                startActivity(intent);

        }

    });

}

private void fillData() {
    // Get all of the notes from the database and create the item list
    Cursor c = db.fetchAllClients();
    startManagingCursor(c);

    String[] from = new String[] { DbAdapter.KEY_NAME };

    int[] to = new int[] { R.id.text1 };

    // Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
    clients = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.clientsrow, c, from, to);
    setListAdapter(clients);


}

}

Yet when I click it, nothing happens at all. Any ideas?

Try switching this line:

ListView list = getListView();

to be after this one:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

Otherwise you'll be getting a handle to the ListActivity's default layout's ListView, rather than R.layout.main's listview (which is the one you really want).
