title: Can't get my ListView items to be highlighted when they are selected
body: <p>I have an app that hits a REST service, gets some json and then places it into a listview. My main activity extends Activity and not ListActivity. I can scroll through the list items, but I cannot select any (at least by touch). I get to the listview through findViewBYId and have an adapter that extends SimpleAdapter. I have set the convertView inside the adapter's getVIew() as clickable. However when I do this, I can no longer click on the list items in the listView? Did I do this wrong? </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class App extends Activity {
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.main);

          jobsListView.setAdapter(new JobItemAdapter(jobsListView.getContext(), 
                  jobsList, 
                  R.layout.list_item, 
                  new String[] {"title","location"},
                  new int[] {R.id.job_title, R.id.job_location}));
