How to extract the text from the selected item on the listView

Question

I have a listview with some items. I would like to get the text from the selected item.

Here is my list adapter and the onItemClickListener:

ListView         


        

Answer 1

Use this:

String selectedFromList = (lv.getItemAtPosition(position));

Hope it will help. :)

Answer 2

This worked for me. I had tried some solutions here but they hadn't worked. Hope this helps.

ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, myFamily);

    listViewDemo.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

    listViewDemo.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            //String nameSelectedfromList = arrayAdapter.getItem(position).toString();
            String nameSelectedfromList = listViewDemo.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

            Log.i("Clicked Item", nameSelectedfromList);

        }
    }); 

Answer 3

If you are using a List to populate the ListView in your onItemClick() method.

String s = list.get(position);

You need to be able to access this list within the inner class

Answer 4

myListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av,
                                View view, int position, long l) {
            String text = String.valueOf(myListView.getItemAtPosition(position));

            }
        }
    });

Answer 5

It is as simple as that

@Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
            TextView text1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Text1);
            TextView text2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Text2);

            String txt_1 = ""+text1.getText().toString().trim();
            String txt_2 = ""+text2.getText().toString().trim();

    });

Answer 6

try doing it by this, insert it into onItemClickListener, i am not sure what does your Country class look like:

String s = values.get(position).getCountryName();
Log.e("LISTVIEW", "selected item text = "+s);

  or

String s = values.get(position).toString();
Log.e("LISTVIEW", "selected item text = "+s);
