I'm not sure what an "item name" is, and I'm not sure what position you're referring to. If you want the selected item, call getSelectedView(). If you want the view at an arbitrary slot in the visible portion of the list, I suspect getChildAt() will do it. Bear in mind that this should use indices based on the number of visible rows, not the total number of items the adapter will feed to the list. In other words, if you have a ListView that, based on fonts and screen sizes and whatnot, shows 10 items out of a 100-item list, you can get the View for those 10 items. Those views probably get reused as the user scrolls, depending on the adapter implementation. In both cases (getSelectedView() and getChildAt()), you get a View back. You'll need to cast this to the type of view created by your adapter (e.g., TextView) and call methods on it to get out display information (e.g., what text is showing in the text view). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Warescription: All titles, revisions, & ebook formats, just $35/year --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
