Question

I have list view with custom array adapter. I want to get items click position from getView method. I am getting a few list view items position but when i add more then 7 items into my list i get wrong position from getView method. I mean when i click 9th list item it returns 1.

Here is my code

    @Override
    public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        this.position = pos;
        Log.v("View position", Integer.toString(pos));

        lineView = convertView;

            if(lineView==null)
            {
                adapterLine=new AdapterLine();
                layoutInflater=context.getLayoutInflater();
                lineView=layoutInflater.inflate(com.inomera.sanalmarket.main.R.layout.adapter, null,true);
                adapterLine.sListText = (TextView) lineView.findViewById(R.id.sListText);
                adapterLine.sListCheckbox = (CheckBox) lineView.findViewById(R.id.sListCheckbox);
                adapterLine.sListImageView = (ImageView) lineView.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
                adapterLine.gestureOverlayView = (GestureOverlayView) lineView.findViewById(com.inomera.sanalmarket.main.R.id.gestureOverlayView1);
                adapterLine.gestureOverlayView.setGestureVisible(false);

                // To remember whitch tab is selected 
                adapterLine.sListImageView.setTag(pos);
                adapterLine.sListCheckbox.setTag(pos);
                adapterLine.sListText.setTag(pos);

                Log.v("adapter", "position of adapter is " + Integer.toString(pos));

Thanks for any help!

The array adapter will only create one object per visible row in your list view. After this, the adapter will recycle that already created view. This is the purpose of the:

if(lineView==null)

line in your adapter.

You will want to put in an else section that sets up the row using the recycled view. This other article may be helpful:
