Question

I can’t get name of ListView item by click. I fill data from database with SimpleCursorAdapter, and when I click on item I want to get item name, but I recive data like this

android.content.ContentResolver$CursorWrapperInner@4054b988.

How I can get text from it?

There is m click listener:

protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    Object object = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    String item = object.toString();
    Log.i( TAG, "Name: " + item );
}

Actually you got what you’ve called. Every object has a default toString() method which will return a String describe its class name and position in memory and that’s the result you got there. You have to override this method to have a meaningful return value. For example, by casting Object to a meaningful object of your own

class Item{
    private String name;
    public void setName(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }
    public String toString(){
        return name; 
    }
}
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    Object object = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    Item item = (Item) object;
    String name = item.getName() \\ or = item.toString(); it's the same
    Log.i( TAG, "Name: " + name );
}
