ListView.onItemLongClick - get item's element

Question

I created linearlayout with textviews which is ListView's row (because I need a table: Is any normal table view in Android?). It's layout sample of listview's row:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:paddingTop="4dip"
     android:paddingBottom="6dip"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:orientation="horizontal">

     <TextView android:id="@+id/first_name"
         android:layout_width="100dip"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

     <TextView android:id="@+id/last_name"
         android:layout_width="100dip"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

     <TextView android:id="@+id/experience"
         android:layout_width="100dip"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

     <TextView android:id="@+id/birthday"
         android:layout_width="100dip"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content">

</LinearLayout>

Now I need to get every field's value of selected row. I'm try

   ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.workers_list);
    list.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                alert(parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString()); // alert is Toast
                return true;
            }
        });

but it returns all data in interesting(?) data format: enter image description here how to get not all data of row, but only some column's value?

Can you clarify your question? Are you asking if it is possible to detect which "column" in your list item was long pressed, or simply how to access a specific field in the model object that you retrieved with `getItemAtPosition()`? — devunwired, Nov 14 '12 at 19:02
Can you post what kind of adapter you are using, possibly all you need to do is change the tostring method — nandeesh, Nov 14 '12 at 19:04
I want not array as at picture from parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(). I want something like parent.getItemAtPosition(position).getString("birthday"), which will return "Дата народження", or parent.getItemAtPosition(position).getString("first_name"), which will return "Імена" and etc. I need to get concretely TextView's value of concretely adapter's row, which binded on some listview. — Maximus, Nov 14 '12 at 19:07
nandeesh, sure. WorkersListAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, WorkersArrayList, R.layout.listview_row, new String[] {"first_name", "last_name", "experience", "birthday", "job", "academic_degree", "academic_title", "operative_rank"}, new int[] {R.id.first_name, R.id.last_name, R.id.experience, R.id.birthday, R.id.job, R.id.academic_degree, R.id.academic_title, R.id.operative_rank}); list.setAdapter(WorkersListAdapter); — Maximus, Nov 14 '12 at 19:08

getItemAtPosition returns the Map at the position. So You could do

((Map)parent.getItemAtPosition(position)).get("birthday").toString()

If you want to use table, then you can use table layout
