Question

I have a custom adapter for my ListView which has multiple TextViews. I want to set an onItemClickListener to my ListView and extract text out of the TextViews. I tried using this:

String s =(String) ((TextView) mListView.findViewById(R.id.myNr)).getText(); 

but as expected by default it always returns the values from the first list item! (I guess because it doesn’t specify the item id from the list)

I also tried this:

String s =  (((TextView) mListView.getItemAtPosition(myItemInt)).
                          findViewById(R.id.myNr)).toString();

didn’t work! Any suggestions?

This is implemented under the following function:

mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> myAdapter, View myView, 
                        int myItemInt, long mylng) {

             // String s statements

} 

EDIT:

Here’s the full code:

 mListView_myentries.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> myAdapter, View myView, 
                        int myItemInt, long mylng) {

                    String workRequestSelected = (String) ((TextView) mListView_myentries.findViewById(R.id.work_request)).getText();
                    String activitySelected = (String) ((TextView) mListView_myentries.findViewById(R.id.activity)).getText();
                    String statusSelected = (String) ((TextView) mListView_myentries.findViewById(R.id.status)).getText();
                    String workRequestDescSelected = (String) ((TextView) mListView_myentries.findViewById(R.id.desc)).getText();
                    String actualHoursString = (String) ((TextView) mListView_myentries.findViewById(R.id.actual_hours)).getText();

}

Try the below code

mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> myAdapter, View myView,int myItemInt, long mylng) {
             String s =(String) ((TextView) myView.findViewById(R.id.myNr)).getText();
   }
}
