Question

I use a CustomCursorAdapter to populate a ListView. Also the onitemclicklistener works
for reading text from the clicked ListItem.

I only display partial data from the cursor used..

How can i access the corresponding item in the database , when a listitem is clicked
so that i can display all the data in a toast or dialog box.

What is your Object about, what do you want to do on list item click?

Posting the details will help us to answer but here is a simple code to show a tost:

protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long thisID)
{
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, thisID);
    // Get the item that was clicked
    String keyword = (String)this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    Toast.makeText(Activity.this, keyword, Toast.LENGHT_SHORT).show();
}
