Get position of an item within a ListView?

Question

How would one find the position of a specific item within a ListView? (Populated by SimpleCursorAdapter).

The reason I ask: The listview is set to singleChoice mode. Whe

Answer 1

I do this straightforward in my own app:

long lastItem = prefs.getLong(getPreferenceName(), -1);
if (lastItem >= 0) {
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
        if (lastItem == cursor.getLong(0)) {
            spinner.setSelection(cursor.getPosition());
            break;
        }
        cursor.moveToNext();
    }
}

Spinner is populated with the cursor's contents, so I just look through them and compare with the selected item id. In your case that would be a ListView.
