android get position of clicked item in gridview

Question

as we know using android grid view, we can do the following and get notified when item is clicked:

gridview.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClic         


        

Answer 1

Assuming you are using a custom adapter for the GridVIew, in the getView method you can simply add a tag to the Button object that contains the position passed into getView:

button.setTag(new Integer(position));

Then, in the onClickListener method, with the view that is passed in (the button) you can do:

Integer position = (Integer)view.getTag();

And then handle the position value from there.

EDIT: It appears the best practice would be to do:

button.setTag(Integer.valueOf(position));

rather than using the Integer constructor.
