Android: Get the listview item from button clicked in custom listview

Question

I have a custom ListView with two button and I when I click either button on any row I want to get the text label on the Listview and for now just popup a toast with it. So far

Answer 1

If you have a ListActivity, and you're not using your own adapter, you can still get the list item belonging to the tapped button, like so:

In your layout file of the list row:

In your ListActivity:

public void callBuddy(View view) {

    int position = getListView().getPositionForView((View) view.getParent());
    Buddy buddyToCall = (Buddy) getListView().getItemAtPosition(position);

    Toast.makeText(MyListActivity.this, String.format("Calling your buddy %s.", buddyToCall.name), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
