How to get the selected item from ListView?

Question

in my Android app I have created a ListView component called myList, and filled it with objects of my own custom type:

class MyClass{

    private String di         


        

Answer 1

Since the onItemClickLitener() will itself provide you the index of the selected item, you can simply do a getItemAtPosition(i).toString(). The code snippet is given below :-

    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {

            String s = listView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();

            Toast.makeText(activity.getApplicationContext(), s, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            adapter.dismiss(); // If you want to close the adapter
        }
    });

On the method above, the i parameter actually gives you the position of the selected item.
