Renderer2 bind event to dynamically created element using loop

I am using Angular 4+ , import { Component, ElementRef, Renderer2 } from '@angular/core';
I have successfully generated series of element:

    const parentList = this.renderer.createElement('ul');
    let children = '';
    for(let i=0; i<totalItem; i++) {
       children += '<li id="item'+i+'">'+item.name+'</li>';
    }
    parentList .innerHTML = children;

    this.renderer.appendChild(
       this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector('.wrapper'), 
       parentList);

Using renderer.listen, how do I bind click event to all created li throgh iteration?
My try:

for(let j=0; j<totalItem; j++) {
   let listener =
     this.renderer.listen(
        this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector('#item'+j), 
        'click',
        (evt) => {
           this.myFunc(j);
        }
      );
}

.....

myFunc(id) {
   alert(id);
}

The problem is for each clicked li will alert the latest value of j after the iteration finished.
I want it to alert different id for each li.
I think the way I bind the event is wrong. Please help me.

After your DOM is appended to DOM tree, you can query all DOM that starts with item id, for the same you can use querySelectorAll with [id^="item"'] expression where it says collection all elements that have attribute id's starts with item. There after loop over the collection and bind event on each element separately.

let listItems = Array.from(this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelectorAll('*[id^="item"]'))

listItems.forEach((listItem, j) => {
    this.renderer.listen(
        listItem, 
        'click',
        (evt) => {
           this.myFunc(j);
        }
    );
})
