    String pen = o.toString();


    if (pen.equals("Android"))
    { 
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Catedral.class);
    startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
    Toast.makeText(this, "Catedral", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

Answer 1

Calling toString on Object just returns the memory reference of the object. This is why pen does not match.

I’m not that familiar with ListAdapter, have you tried casting the return to a String before assigning to a reference:

String pen = (String) this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
