Question

I am creating lists in my android app and would like to capture the text of the list item that is clicked but I want to do it in a seperate function so I only have to write the code once. And I want to be able to compare the string to another sting.

What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You need OnItemClickListener() set to your list and overwrite

onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)

then get you text either from item itself or from the view.
