Recipients Activity onListItemClick "cannot resolve method" what do i do? (android studio)

when Ben types onListItemClick a @override method is auto generated for him. Mine will not auto generate and will be underlined in red.

I think this has to do with the fact i have to extend ActionBarActivity instead of ListActivity for the action bar fix in android studio.

I tried doing mListview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.receipientsListView); and doing mListView.onListItemClick but it is still red:(

You have to do 

    mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> l, View view, int position, long id) {

            if (mListView.getCheckedItemCount() > 0) {
                mSendMenuItem.setVisible(true);
            }
            else {
                mSendMenuItem.setVisible(false);
            }
        }
    });
