Try using the following piece of code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(document).bind('deviceready', function(){
        //Phonegap ready
        onDeviceReady();
    });
var output1 = $('#ullist');
                  
function onDeviceReady() {
                  $.ajax({
                         url: 'http://samcroft.co.uk/demos/updated-load-data-into-phonegap/landmarks.php',
                         dataType: 'jsonp',
                         jsonp: 'jsoncallback',
                         timeout: 5000,
                         success: function(data, status){
                         $.each(data, function(i,item){
 
                                var landmark = '<li onclick="Javacsript:select(this);">'+item.name+'</li>';
                                output1.append(landmark);
                            });
                                
                         },
                         error: function(){
                            output.text('There was an error loading the data.');
                           }
                         });
                  });
}

function select(x)
{
    alert(item.name);                              
}

Please try the following code inside success function-

JavaScript

$.each(data, function(i,item) {
 
   //create the li element
   var $landmark = $('<ul><li /></ul>').text(item.name);

   //bind the click event to li, since its being created at runtime
   $landmark.bind('click', function(){
        //get the value from li and set it to textbox
	$('#target-text-box-id').val($landmark.text());
   });

   //append to ul-output1
   $landmark.appendTo(output1);
});

Alternatively, you can also make use of jQuery on(). Inside $.each -
Create the li element with some class like -

JavaScript

var $landmark = $('<ul><li class="landmark-item" /></ul>').text(item.name);

and append to ul-output1.
Then write an event handler outside $.ajax() like -

JavaScript

//bind the click event to li, since its being created at runtime
$('.landmark-item').on('click', function(){
     //get the value from li and set it to textbox
     $('#target-text-box-id').val($(this).text());
});

Hope this works for you.
Thanks
