how to assign the selected item from list view to a variable

Question

On item selection I am able to show the value of a column through toast. Now I want that value to get assigned to a variable. I tried with the commented line but get some junk information like:

android.widget.TextView{41f04c60 V.ED..}.

CODE:

 public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, 
                          View view, int position, long thislist) {
        TextView selectedTitle = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView);
        Toast.makeText(this, selectedTitle.getText() , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        //selectedTitleID = String.valueOf((TextView) 
                                              view.findViewById(R.id.textView));

        }

But getting value using `selectedTitle.getText()` then what is issue? — ρяσѕρєя K, Mar 27 '15 at 08:49

Your selected item will be:

Object selectedItem = parent.getAdapter().getItem(position);

Now You can cast this item to any class and get selectedTitleId;

 TextView selectedTitle = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textView);
 String selectedTitleID  = selectedTitle.getText().toString();

I think you are trying to get from adapter.You need to mention like this.

   @Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
    long id) {
    String title= (String) ((TextView) view
            .findViewById(R.id.textView)).getText(); //from adapter
    Toast.makeText(this,"Title is"+ title , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }
}

}

Just do one thing in your itemclick

String str = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

You can also find your answer in :

android listview get selected item
