Change your values array this way:

<string-arrayname="alex_sounds"><item>soundfile</item></string-array>

Then your listener becomes: (packageName is a string representing the package of your R file: e.g. "com.example.main")

@OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
    StringselectedFromList= getItemAtPosition(pos);
    intresId= getResources().getIdentifier(selectedFromList, "raw", packageName);
    MediaPlayermp= MediaPlayer.create(AlexList.this, resId);  
    mp.start();
}

This will play the file which name you selected in your list view, from your res/raw folder. (Coded quickly in StackOverflow, there may be syntax errors)
