public class MainActivity: Activity {

    protected override void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        base.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ContentView = R.layout.main;

        // Simple array with a list of my favorite TV shows
        String[] favoriteTVShows = {"Pushing Daisies", "Better Off Ted",
                "Twin Peaks", "Freaks and Geeks", "Orphan Black", "Walking Dead",
                "Breaking Bad", "The 400", "Alphas", "Life on Mars"};
        ListAdapter theAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1, favoriteTVShows);
        ListView theListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.theListView);
        theListView.setAdapter(theAdapter);
        /*ERROR part 
        theListView.setOnItemClickListener(new
                    AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

                          public override void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
                             String tvShowPicked = "You selected" +
                                     String.valueOf(adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position));
                              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, tvShowPicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                           }
                    });
        */

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:orientation="horizontal" >

      <ListView

These are the errors

theListView.setOnItemClickListener(new  //Error:- cannot instantiate interface type
 public override void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) { //Syntax error Syntax error
    String tvShowPicked = "You selected " + favoriteTVShows[position];//Unknown identifier (position)
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, tvShowPicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //identifier expected(this)
            }
                    });//Type expected
//(E374) opening parenthesis or less expected, got closing brace
//(E1) semicolon expected, got "public"

Answer 1

theListView.setOnItemClickListener(new
                    AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

                          public override void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
                             String tvShowPicked = "You selected " + favoriteTVShows[position];
                              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, tvShowPicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                           }
                    });

Replace this with your code.

Answer 2

Try

String tvShowPicked = "You selected"+String.valueOf(theAdapter.getItemAtPosition(position));

instead of

String tvShowPicked = "You selected"+String.valueOf(adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position));

by making your adapter Global or setting it to final

Answer 3

The problem is that in C# anonymous types cannot implement methods. In this case you need to use a lambda or implement the methods in the main class.

Answer 4

I used @AnujSharma's answer and changed the code a bit:

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

            String tvShowPicked = "You selected " + favouriteTVShows[position];
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, tvShowPicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
    });

Instead of:

theListView.setOnItemClickListener(new
                AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

                      public override void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
                         String tvShowPicked = "You selected " + favoriteTVShows[position];
                          Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, tvShowPicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                       }
                });
