Question

I have a listview, basically I would like to have the Listview populated and display a TextView that says “New” if the user has not clicked on that position yet, and then make the TextView visibility set to gone after the user has clicked on that Listview item. could anyone help me?

I have tried quite a bit of messing with some codes, of course with trial and error, comes erasing the code so I wasnt able to show you everything that I have tried. This is the last thing I tried:

        // selecting single ListView item
    final ListView lv = getListView();



    // Launching new screen on Selecting Single ListItem
    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long ide) {

            if (lv.isPressed(view.hasFocus(position))) { 
                newjob.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); 
            } else { 
                newjob.setVisibility(View.GONE); 
            } 


               vib.vibrate(40); 

                // Starting new intent 
                try { 
                Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), 
                        SingleMenuItemActivity.class); 
                in.putExtra("jobInfo", JOBS.getJSONObject(position).toString()); 
                in.putExtra(pays, JOBS.getJSONObject(position).toString());
                in.putExtra(job, JOBS.getJSONObject(position).toString());
                in.putExtra(ready_at, JOBS.getJSONObject(position).toString());
                in.putExtra(due_by, JOBS.getJSONObject(position).toString());
                in.putExtra(customer_reference, JOBS.getJSONObject(position).toString());

Here is one way, simply override the OnItemClickListener:

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        // Change your TextView's visibility to gone
        view.findViewById(R.id.textView).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
});

Updated from new code

It looks like you are using a ListActivity or ListFragment. If so, I recommend using onListItemClick() instead of onItemClick() since it is already set up:

@Override
protected void onListItemClick (ListView listView, View view, int position, long id) {
    view.findViewById(R.id.textView).setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
