Well okay so my main purpose to asking was in my app i wanted the user to be able to select the textview from the listview and once the user touches it the text changes colors. but i want also that if the user touches a new text the original one he touch goes back to the original color while the new one he touch changes colors. so to do taht i need to be able to find the previous textview taht i manipulated during the setOnClickListenerView so i figure if i can find the textview from the array i should be able to get the previous one but im still just confused with the call because i dont get the argument in the middle taht u send a "View convertView"
