Why is my listview unclickable?

I have a Listview of layouts that prints out some information, for some reason when I click on each element it does not highlight, telling me that my listview is unclickable. Here is my code. 

    ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.imtrackinglistview);
    refreshList(response, lv);
       static final ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

    private void refreshList(String response, ListView lv) {
    // removes the list and rebuilds it will choose different response
    // string to get the refreshed times
    list.removeAll(list);
    SpecialAdapter adapter = new SpecialAdapter(this, list,
        R.layout.imtracking_row_text,
       new String[] { "name", "location" }, new int[] {
       R.id.tvImtrackingName, R.id.tvImtrackingLocation });
       lv.setAdapter(adapter);

The adapter is so that I can switch between background colors.

public class SpecialAdapter extends SimpleAdapter{
private int[] colors=new int[]{0x30FF0000, 0x300000FF};
public SpecialAdapter (AnotherlistviewActivity context, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list, int resource, String[] from, int[] to){
    super(context, list, resource, from, to);

}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
    View view=super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
    int colorPos=position%colors.length;
    view.setBackgroundColor(colors[colorPos]);
    return view;
}
  }

I find it strange that suddenly my listview is unclickable, hopefully someone can figure out why this is. Thanks

If you want do something onclick then u must go for adding setOnClickListener(lv). Sometimes you may not know that ListView is clickable because it color doesnot change when clicked.

This may work:

ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setClickable(true);
lv.setEnabled(true);

This might work. 

list.setClickable(true);

Edit: You might also need

list.setEnabled(true);
