05-01 14:18:41.000: E/AndroidRuntime(26607):          


        

Answer 1

use only

TextView textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
String info = textview.getText().toString();

Answer 2

Use

 TextView textview=((LinearLayout)view).findViewById(R.id.textView1);
 String info = textView.getText().toString(); 

The xml layout file you have provided is not needed here. The list view row file is culprit .so use Id of Textview that is mentioned in row.xml .

Answer 3

getText() returns an EditableText, not a String. You have to use the toString() method to cast it into a String type:

String text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv).getText().toString();
