I want to get the field

Answer 1

Say with list view like this:

ListView listView =new ListView();

Getting selected element from ListView:

listView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();

Tracking (Listening) the changes in list view selection:

listView.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void changed(ObservableValue observable, String oldValue, String newValue) {
        System.out.println("ListView selection changed from oldValue = " 
                + oldValue + " to newValue = " + newValue);
    }
});
