In Android, how do you capture the text value of the item clicked in a ListView?

I'm a newbie but recently did this, so if you can understand my code snippet, something like this: setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout. List_item, array_of_something)); ListView lv = getListView(); lv. SetTextFilterEnabled(true); lv.

SetOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int arg2, long arg3) { String item_clicked_on = (String)((TextView) view).getText(); } }) Maybe this helps?

Don't do any of those. When using a listview, set on onItemClickListener and it will give you the position of the listitem that was clicked. Lv.

SetOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) { now position is the position of the listitem that was clicked.

Put this in your onCreate method. ListView. SetAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.

List_items, ListViewArray)); here list_item is the xml file which defines the look and feel of items in list, instead you can also use Android's inbuilt layout which is "android.R.layout. Simple_list_item_1" and you can use it like this, ListView. SetAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.

Simple_list_item_1, ListViewArray)); now when you click on the list items, handle like this (outside onCreate), ListView. SetOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) { //either use toast to show item text Toast. MakeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(), Toast.

LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //else go to a new activity like this, Intent intent = new Intent(); intent. SetClass(view.getContext(), AnotherClass. Class); startActivity(intent); } } ); You can define what you want to show in new activity when clicked on list item.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
