Question

I have this code and I’d really liek to be able to get the text otu of the item in the listview. I’ve done an example where i can get it to toast in a different type of listview, but not this one that i made. any helpers?
thx in advance 🙂

    private void listChoices(){
    mySQLiteAdapterChoices = new SQLiteAdapterChoices(this);
    mySQLiteAdapterChoices.openToRead();
    Cursor cursor = mySQLiteAdapterChoices.queueAll();
    startManagingCursor(cursor);
    String choic=SQLiteAdapterChoices.KEY_CHOICE_SUB;

    String[] from = new String[]{choic};
    int[] to = new int[]{R.id.textUserChoice};

    SimpleCursorAdapter cursorAdapter =
        new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.userrow, cursor, from, to);
    setListAdapter(cursorAdapter);
    mySQLiteAdapterChoices.close();



    ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {



            switch(position) {
            case 0:
                final String text = ("txtUserChoice");
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        text,
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
                        First.class));
                break;

Fixed Code Below.. I moved some of the variables up a couple scopes and changed the code to this

            case 0:
                int index = cursor.getColumnIndex(choic); 
                final String text = cursor.getString(index);
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        text,
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
                        First.class));
                break;
            case 1:....

I think the problem is that you forgot to fetch the data from cursor. You wrote
final String text = ("txtUserChoice");
and you should write like
int index = cursor.getColumnIndex(choic);
final String text = cursor.getString(index);
and make cursor and choic variable as instance member.
