Unable to implement ClickListener within android list view

try this ; create click listener after the getview method within your adapter class,

    public OnItemClickListener onItemClick = new OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position,
            long arg3) {
         Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), String.valueOf(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).Show();
    }
};

and set the listener as follows,

    MyListAdapter adapter = new MyListAdapter();
    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.action_settings);
    list.setAdapter(adapter);
    list.setOnItemClickListener(adapter.onItemClick);   

Class Transition3d in ApiDemos in Android SDK has show how to create item click listener and use it in Listview widget. Take a look at the line "mPhotosList.setOnItemClickListener(this);"

package com.example.android.apis.animation;

import com.example.android.apis.R;

import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.DecelerateInterpolator;

/**
 * This sample application shows how to use layout animation and various
 * transformations on views. The result is a 3D transition between a
 * ListView and an ImageView. When the user clicks the list, it flips to
 * show the picture. When the user clicks the picture, it flips to show the
 * list. The animation is made of two smaller animations: the first half
 * rotates the list by 90 degrees on the Y axis and the second half rotates
 * the picture by 90 degrees on the Y axis. When the first half finishes, the
 * list is made invisible and the picture is set visible.

Just copy below code in OnCreate Method after set adapter

List.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                    int position, long id) {
                Toast.makeText(view.getContext(), String.valueOf(position), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).Show();
            }
        });
