Ok thanks, well I ended up using the following.. AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info; info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo; ListView lv = getListView(); String title = lv.getItemAtPosition(info.position).toString();
I realize there are other ways of achieving this, what would the best be? I don't seem to be able to grab the text as easily using any other methods. Thanks.
