titanuum mobile xmlmarkup events - templates

Question

moving from actionscript (flex) to titanium and I'm experimenting with the xml markup. What I have is a template that I picked up from the doc
<ItemTemplate name="template">
<ImageView left="0" bindId="pic" id="icon" />
<Label bindId="info" id="title"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</Templates>
my question is if someone clicks on the pic or a listitem itself, how does one handle the events. through xml markup? Then how do you reference any of the control wrap in the template?
I have tried
<ImageView left="0" bindId="pic" id="icon" onclick="doClick()" />
function doClick(e) {
alert($.info.text);
}
This just produces a error and I still would not know what pic was clicked.
any help would be great..
thanks Mike

Have you checked out the Alloy Quick Start? I think many of your questions can be answered there.
Anyway, for ListViews, you cant add an event listener to an item in the template, its just a template not an actual thing on the screen (yet), refer here, and look at the alloy section.
Instead you need the itemclick event listener on the ListView itself. Check , below for a simple example of what the XML markup looks like.
<ListView id="listView" defaultItemTemplate="template" onitemclick="yourEvent" >
<!-- The Templates tag sets the ListView's templates property -->
<Templates>
<!-- Define your item templates within the Templates tags or use the
Require tag to include a view that only contains an ItemTemplate -->
<ItemTemplate name="template">
<ImageView bindId="pic" id="icon" />
<Label bindId="info" id="title" />
<Label bindId="es_info" id="subtitle" />
</ItemTemplate>
</Templates>
<ListSection headerTitle="Fruit / Frutas">
<!-- You can specify any ListItem or ListDataItem properties in ListItem -->
<!-- Specify data to bind to the item template with inline attributes
defined as <bindId>:<Ti.UI.Component.property> -->
<ListItem info:text="Apple" es_info:text="Manzana" pic:image="/apple.png" />
<ListItem info:text="Banana" es_info:text="Banana" pic:image="/banana.png" />
</ListSection>
</ListView>
Also, you need any JavaScript to be in the controller files, not in the XML markup files. *.js has javascript that is behind the view, which is *.xml.
