[SOLVED] OnItemClickListener is not firing

I am making an app that has a list of exercises to do displayed in a ListView. I am trying to let the user select an item from the list to start a new activity, but my OnItemClickListener is not firing. Here is my Activity, (not a listActivity, it is appCompatActivity):

ArrayList<Exercise> myExercises = new ArrayList<>();
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder;
ArrayAdapter<Exercise> arrayAdapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_list);
    refreshList();
    Button newExButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.newExButton);

    arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<Exercise>(
            this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
            myExercises );

    ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.actList);
    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            System.out.println("listener heard");
            // selected item
            int selection = position;
            startExercise(selection);
        }
    });

    lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}

public void refreshList(){
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_list);
    ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.actList);

    lv.setChoiceMode(AbsListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
    lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}

public void startExercise(int selection){

    Intent exIntent = new Intent(this, CommenceExercise.class);
    Exercise chosenEx = myExercises.get(selection);
    Bundle info = new Bundle();
    info.putLong("duration", chosenEx.getTime());
    info.putString("name", chosenEx.getName());
    info.putString("description", chosenEx.getDescription());
    exIntent.putExtras(info);
    startActivity(exIntent);
}

The list is initially empty, but the user adds items by pressing a button. The button creates an alertDialog through the code below:

public void addNewActivity(View view) {
    //get prompts.xml view
    LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.custom, null);

    alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
            context);

    // set prompts.xml to alertdialog builder
    alertDialogBuilder.setView(promptsView);

    final EditText userInput = (EditText) promptsView
            .findViewById(R.id.exNameInput);
    final EditText durInput = (EditText) promptsView
            .findViewById(R.id.exDurInput);

    // set dialog message
    alertDialogBuilder
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("OK",
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
                                    long duration = 0;
                                    String exName;
                                    exName = userInput.getText().toString();
                                    duration = Integer.valueOf(durInput.getText().toString());
                                    myExercises.add(new Exercise(exName, duration));
                                   // create new exercise with user input
                                    refreshList();
                                }
                            })
                    .setNegativeButton("Cancel",
                            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
                                    dialog.cancel();
                                }
                            });
            // create alert dialog
            AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
            // show it
            alertDialog.show();
}

}

And here is my xml:

When I tap an item I've added to the list, nothing happens. I can tell that the OnItemClickListener is not being fired because the System.out line is never printed. I'm at a loss as to why I can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
