Instead of getting the ID, maybe you should get the actual string
associated with that ID. Then loop through all entries on your
ArrayList of Names, and then compare using
Name.get(i).equals(nameSelected). If this returns true, then delete.
Remember to make a character-by-character comparison on Strings,
use .equals and not ==.
Hope this helps.
