  1. POExtracting strings from ListView Items, adding chars?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a listView that displays the records from a database, and a setOnClickListener() for the items that pulls the text from the list and adds the String as an extra for an Intent.</p> <p>This all works fine, my list displays records with Text such as, City, Town, Village, and when i add new items this also works fine. My issue lies with when i use a toast to display the string passed to the intent, some extra Chars are added </p> <p>e.g. I click on the List item "town" and the toast displays "{pg=town}" how to i stop this from happening/ why is it happening?</p> <p>The code for the Adapter and onClick is as Follows. </p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <pre><code>public void listChange() { Cursor c = database.rawQuery("select * from Towns", null); c.moveToFirst(); primeTownlist = new ArrayList&lt;HashMap&lt;String, String&gt;&gt;(); while (!c.isAfterLast()) { primeTownMap = new HashMap&lt;String, String&gt;(); primeTownMap.put("pg", c.getString(1)); primeTownlist.add(primeTownMap); c.moveToNext(); } c.close(); primeGoalAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, primeTownlist, R.layout.primeTowns, new String[] { "pg" }, new int[] {R.id.bt_primeTown}); primeTowns.setAdapter(primeTownAdapter); } primeTowns.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; list, View view, int position, long id) { String title = list.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(); Intent i = new Intent("com.example.towns.town"); i.putExtra("town", title); startActivity(i); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), (title), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }); </code></pre>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
