Android Android Lists and Adapters (2015) Acting on List Item Taps Tapping on a ListView Item

what do i have to do here

On the onListItem Click() method of this custom List Activity has been override,but its empty.Add the first line that we normally add when overriding a method from a superclass

GameListActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.view.ListView;

public class GameListActivity extends ListActivity {

    public String[] mGames = {
        "Age of Empires",
        "Civilization",
        "Minecraft",
        "SimCity"
    };

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_game_list);

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mGames);
        setListAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        // Add code here!
    }

    // This is a helper method to tally votes on a back-end system
    public void sendVote(String game) {
        VoteService.recordVote(game);
    }
}

I think you can add this super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

Happy coding mate.

super.onListItemClick(l,v,position,id);
