Question

I have a Listview that originally listed items from a menu item with one single TextView. The code I used to retrieve the item selected is

  menuList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {  

  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View itemClicked, int position, long id)  
  {  
                TextView textView = (TextView) itemClicked;  
                String strText = textView.getText().toString();  

  });  

I’ve now added another TextView so that I have two values for each item one under the other and my menu_item.xml looks like this

<RelativeLayout  
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"  
   android:orientation="horizontal"  
   android:padding="10sp">  
   <TextView  
      android:id="@+id/rowid"  
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"   
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
      android:textColor="@color/exhibitor_header" />   
   <TextView  
      android:id="@+id/rowidtwo"  
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
      android:textColor="@color/listview_background"  
      android:layout_below="@+id/rowid"/>  
</RelativeLayout>

How can I retrieve the value for rowid when the item is selected?

Answer 1

Then instead of casting the whole view, find inside that view the correct TextView object. You can reference it by using the findViewById method and the TextView‘s id:

TextView textView = (TextView) itemClicked.findViewById(R.id.rowid);
String strText = textView.getText().toString();

TextView textView2 = (TextView) itemClicked.findViewById(R.id.rowidtwo);
String strText2 = textView2.getText().toString();
