Within a ListView, why do I keep getting the value of the first row instead of the selected row?

Question

In my android app I have the following code:

public void goToCaptureBonus (View View) {
        String tappedBonus = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.bonusListCode)         


        

Answer 1

The documentation of findViewById() says

Finds the first descendant view with the given ID, ...

Is it possible that you are using findViewById() from the context of the activity or the the general list view and not of the selected (tapped on) view?

If the view parameter of your function is the tapped on view, you should probably do:

view.findViewById(R.id.bonusListCode)

instead of just

findViewById(R.id.bonusListCode)
