Question

I have created a ListView where I have to add different items. Now, when I click on a particular item it displays another window. On that window, I want to display the name of that item which I click on the ListView.
My code:

private ListView contactList;
private String lv_arr[]={"Android","iPhone","BlackBerry","AndroidPeople"};

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
{
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.contact_activity);
    contactList=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListView01);    
    contactList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String (this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 , lv_arr));
    contactList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
        int position, long id) {
            /*Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), CallActivity.class);
                          startActivity(myIntent);*/
        }
    });
}

Answer 1

you have to get the name of the item on itemclick event. pass it to the activity which will be called. in in the calling activity get the name of item and display

contactList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
             public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                        int position, long id) {
String selecteditem = lv_arr[position]; 
                      Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), CallActivity.class);
                      intent.putExtra("item", selecteditem);
startActivity(myIntent);
                    }
                  });

In CallActivity.java

write the following to get the selected item name

String selectedItem=getIntent().getStringExtra("item");
