Question

That GridView adapter creates ImageView from a layout.
All images are downloaded from URLs respect to the database item IDs where the ID is got from a JSONArray.
Let say, the view is now showing items with
ID: 1,3,4,7.
As the GridView items are dynamic, the position (starting from 0) cannot really identify my item on the GridView.
Is there any other ways to identify that image from the database item IDs?

public OnItemClickListener ClickListner = new OnItemClickListener()
{
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
        //      ""+position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        //Identification code for the item to be added here

        Intent view = 
                new Intent(main.this, View.class);
        view.putExtra("ID", id); 
        //expected to have an ID equal to database item ID
        startActivity(view);
    }

};

Answer 1

First option (the nice way)

You keep a reference to your adapter (or you get it by calling parent.getAdapter() and then cast it)

In your adapter make sure that you’ve overridden getItem(position) to return the object you used to fill up your adapter (probably something like return arrayList.getItem(position)if you used BaseAdapter)

On the adapter you call getItem(position) and this will give you the very same object, so you should have all the info you need now

Second option (easy way out)

You can put info in the gridviewitem’s view using setTag()
then in onItemClick you call getTag() and there you have your unique id
