Selectable width of list items in ListActivity

Question

In an Android project I am working on I have a ListActivity that is set up like this:

public class myClass extends ListActivity {
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      ...
      String[] menuItems = new String[] { "View", "Share", "Delete" };
      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
          android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, menuItems);
      setListAdapter(adapter);
      ...
   }
}

The 3 menu items show up fine, but only the text portion of the item can be "clicked". How can I make it so that the entire row is "clickable"?
