How to refer to the original position of a list item when text filter is enabled?

Question

When I use edit text to filter the items, the list positions get all messed up and the items no longer call the proper intent. Any help is appreciated

lv.se

The item position is not reliable when using lists. I recommend you to use view.setTag(Object) to assign an identifier to each item when attaching the content. This could be a number, string or anything. Then you can just access it with view.getTag() inside the click listener.
