public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {

private TextView text;
private static final String[] items={"test", "test1" , "test2" , "test3" , "test4" , "test5" , "test6"};

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.row,R.id.label,items));
    text=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.selection);
}
public void onListItemClick(ListView parent,View v,int position,Long id){
    text.setText(items[position]);
}
}

Answer 1

compare your code nothing difference....

mainActivity

package com.example.testdemo;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {

    private TextView text;
    private static final String[] items = { "test", "test1", "test2", "test3",
            "test4", "test5", "test6" };

    @SuppressLint("NewApi")
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_);



        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.lable,
                R.id.label, items));
        text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.selection);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        text.setText("" + items[position]);
        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    }


    }
}

Answer 2

Please extend Activity instead of ListActivity,

Then get its view from layout file

ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

Then call listView.setAdapter(/*agruments*/); method

instead of calling setListAdapter().

Answer 3

you have to get the instance of a listview like

ListView lv=getListView();

Answer 4

Change this line

 android:id="@android:id/list"

to

 android:id="@+id/list"
