setOnItemClickListener on custom ListView

Question

I have a custom ListView. This ListView contains 1 Image and 6 TextViews. To retrieve the value I have created a setOnItemClickListener(...). Whenever I click on the ListView how could I actually retrieve all the data from the 6 TextViews?

Sample Code:

ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
      Object listItem = list.getItemAtPosition(position);
   } 
});

In the sample code above, the listItem should contain the selected data for the textView.

I too had that same problem.. If we think logically little bit we can get the answer.. It worked for me very well.. I hope u will get it..

listviewdemo.xml

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/listview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="30dp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="10dp" />

listviewcontent.xml - note that TextView - android:id="@+id/txtLstItem"

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/listviewcontentlayout"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="6dp" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtLstItem"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:shadowColor="@android:color/black"
            android:shadowRadius="5"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="6dp" />
</LinearLayout>

ListViewActivity.java - Note that view.findViewById(R.id.txtLstItem) - as we setting the value to TextView by setText() method we getting text from TextView by View object returned by onItemClick method. OnItemClick() returns the current view.

TextView v=(TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtLstItem);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "selected Item Name is "+v.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();**

Using this simple logic we can get other values like CheckBox, RadioButton, ImageView etc.

ListView List = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
cursor = cr.query(CONTENT_URI,projection,null,null,null);
adapter = new ListViewCursorAdapter(ListViewActivity.this, R.layout.listviewcontent, cursor, from, to);

cursor.moveToFirst();

// Let activity manage the cursor
startManagingCursor(cursor);

List.setAdapter(adapter);
List.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick (AdapterView < ? > adapter, View view,int position, long arg){
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            TextView v = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtLstItem);
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "selected Item Name is " + v.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
);

If it helps anyone, I found that the problem was I already had an android:onClick event in my layout file (which I inflated for the ListView rows). This was superseding the onItemClick event.

If in the listener you get the root layout of the item (say itemLayout), and you gave some id's to the textviews, you can then get them with something like itemLayout.findViewById(R.id.textView1).

If above answers don't work maybe you didn't add return value into getItem method in the custom adapter see this question and check out first answer.

Sorry for coding with Kotlin. But I faced the same problem. I solved with the code below.

list.setOnItemClickListener{ _, view, _, _ ->
        val text1 = view.find<TextView>(R.id.～～).text

        }

You can put an id which shows a TextView that you want in "～～".

Hope it'll help someone!
