If you use a ListView with a CursorAdapter, you will have the _ID of the database row supplied to you in onListItemClick(). If, for some reason, you do not wish to use ListView, you could put the _ID of the database row in the TextView's "tag" via setTag(), then retrieve it upon a click via getTag(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
