Please ask the question again. I do not understand what you are asking.

@Johnson, do you mean you do not see the Listview into your activity? could you post your activity_main.xml also?

i mean how do i make every item on the list open a new activity and have a different colour

The former can be achieved by setting an AdapterView.OnItemClickListener for the ListView, and inside the listener firing intents that start the appropriate activities.

The latter would be done by creating your own adapter class that extends the getView method of ArrayAdapter, and in getView alter the list items as desired.

i know that i have to use the AdapterView.OnItemClickListener and the intent fuction,i just dnt know how to specify the the item on the list

[Tim Moores]

how to specify the the item on the list

The position in the list is passed to the onItemClicked method as the "position" parameter.

it is one of the easiest things you can do in Android, if you search android button listview on the internet you can find a lot of code templates, to work this out.

making then a custom adapter( listview different colors) is something can be not trivial for you at this stage, I would stick a bit more on the basis, going trough the android developers training sessions on the official documentation, and also some java core, otherwise you could not grasp the use of inner classes eventually used into the listener, and also how to use the debug.
good luck
