Android : Implementation Of A Simple AdapterView Where Items Comes From An Basic Adapter

I'm trying to make (for learning purposes) my own implementation of a simple AdapterView where items comes from an basic Adapter (ImageAdapter from sdk samples).

Actual code is like this:

public class MyAdapterView extends AdapterView<ImageAdapter> implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener{
private ImageAdapter mAdapter;
public MyAdapterView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
initThings();}
private void initThings(){
setOnItemClickListener(this);}
@Overridepublic ImageAdapter getAdapter() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stubreturn mAdapter;}
@Overridepublic void setAdapter(ImageAdapter adapter) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mAdapter=adapter;
requestLayout();}
View obtainView(int position) {
View child = mAdapter.getView(position, null, this);
return child;} code...

This isn't a coding masterpiece, it just displays a pseudo-listview with pictures. I know i could've used ListView, GridView, Spinner, etc. but i'm relative new to android and i'm trying to figure out some things on it. Well, the question here is Why is my onItemClick not firing?

Using the same ImageAdapter with a GridView, everything works ok, but when i use with above class, i get nothing. Inside AdapterView.java there is code for those click, longclick, etc events... so why can't i just fire them? Maybe i'm misunderstanding basic things on how AdapterView works? Should I extend other base classes instead? And why? Hoping to find more experienced guidance on here, thanks in advance.
