Answer 1

This worked for me. I had tried some solutions here but they hadn't worked. Hope this helps.

ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, myFamily);

    listViewDemo.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

    listViewDemo.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            //String nameSelectedfromList = arrayAdapter.getItem(position).toString();
            String nameSelectedfromList = listViewDemo.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

            Log.i("Clicked Item", nameSelectedfromList);

        }
    });
