android - ListActivity: Add reaction when pressing on List Item -

i'm starting out java/android studio , wrote following listactivity:

public class transmitchaptersel extends listactivity {      @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {          super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         string[] chapters = {"chapter 1", "chapter 2", "chapter 3"};         arrayadapter<string> adapter = new arrayadapter<string>(getlistview().getcontext(), android.r.layout.simple_list_item_1, chapters);         getlistview().setadapter(adapter);     }  } 

but don't know how can produce reaction when click/touch/hold 1 of list items.

what want produce this:

pseudocode:

if(actionevent e == chapter1pressed){    //do stuff } 

or:

pseudocode:

while(actionevent e == chapter1helddown){     //do stuff } 

if need know when item clicked can use onitemclicklistener list view.

getlistview().setonitemclicklistener(new onitemclicklistener() { public void onitemclick(adapterview<?> parent, view view,int position, long id)  {    //do stuff }}); 

if need know when it's held down you're going have create own list adapter, , set touch listener on row. pretty tutorial on creating list adapters. http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/androidlistview/article.html#adapterown
