Thanks snowdrifter, I need capture the text of the selected listview entry (when someone presses a menu option or a button)
Incidentally the notepad tutorial does an extra query to get the db value from the selected _id. However, this seems like a wasteful operation (since the value is already available in the selected listview element) and I'm hoping that there is an easy to get the text of the selected listview entry.
