onCreate in MainActivity.java

    @Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.main.xml);
        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
}

You can add to titlebar different Views by xml file.
custom_title.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How start certain Activity if user clicked to ListView item
Start Activity from list – launches other activities from list - latest variant!!!!

public class Main extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        
        try {
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
			ListView mlistView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.idListView);
			mlistView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
			        android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, 
			        new String[] {"Game", "Help", "Home site"}));
    
        mlistView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
              // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text Game, Help, Home
              Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
                  Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
              String sText = ((TextView) view).getText().toString();
              Intent intent = null;
              if(sText.equals("Game"))
              intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(),
						Game.class);
              //else if(sText.equals("Help")) ..........

              if(intent != null)
				startActivity(intent);              
            }
          });
        } catch (Exception e) {
        	// TODO Auto-generated catch block
        	e.printStackTrace();
        }
    
    }
}

Game class Game.java game.xml
You have to add class Game to AndroidManifest.xml

        <activity android:name=".Game" android:label="GameLabel">
        </activity>

package cz.okhelp.listview;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Game extends Activity{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        
        // you have to create game.xml 
        setContentView(R.layout.game);
    }
}

- create new folder with values in resources folder in project with extension your language code
For example:
My language is Czech (cs)
I have to create the folder values-cs in res folder

// for locale English is default
/MyProject/res/values 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <string name="app_name">App English default</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Settings English default</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Hello world</string>

</resources>

// for locale Czech (cs)
/MyProject/res/values-cs
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <string name="app_name">Aplikace česky cs</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Nastavení česky</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Ahoj světe!</string>

</resources>

// for locale English US (r is region)
/MyProject/res/values-en-rUS

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <string name="app_name">App English Us locale</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Settings English Us locale</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Hello world from USA :)</string>

</resources>

Into every values folder put strings.xml file
Translate every string from values folder into your locale.
If user selected your locale in device settings, application selects a string from the correct (proper) folder.
