I am stuck on this! I have a listView populated by a a cursor. My question is how can i get the specific item information from the cursor when a certain position in the listview is selected. For example, i select the third index in the listView, I want the information associated with that index from the cursor. How can I do that? Thanks in advance

Implement the onListItemClicked() method like so:

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    yourCursor.moveToPosition(position);
    yourRowId = yourCursor.getLong(0);
}

Your Activity must extend ListActivity for this to work as expected, like so:

public class YourActivity extends ListActivity {
