Views have a dedicated field you can use to store your own identifiers. You should put some value that uniquely identifies the view into it's 'tag' member "setTag(Object)". This member is there for you to put just this kind of info into.
Then, when you get the onClick event with the view, just cast the 'getTag()' to the appropriate object type... tada! Couple of examples: * I store a Long in the tag that corresponds to the "_ID" column in the table row the view models * If it's a manually generated or otherwise 'disconnected' object you could store the object itself in there, using the ListActivity as your.... list!
