Answer 1

if the ListView has focusable items then onClickListener will fire instead of the onItemClickListener . Set items can focus to false

list.setItemsCanFocus(false);

have a look at this thread . Also note there are workarounds for this. But the better choice would be to set items non focusable and use OnItemClickListener , or make them focusable and use an onClickListener on the views

Also, the onClickListener should not be set for the listview. Instead for each listview item in the getView() method

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // ...

    view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // your code
        }

    });

    return view;
}
