1. A good suggestion here is to use a recyclerview instead of list view.

2. To achieve want you want with a list view you just set an item click listener to your list view in your activity. The item click listener will pass the View which is the current cell in the list view. Then you can find textview by id to locate. The Textview ID is set in the layout xml.

Example

listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
    @Override 
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View cell,int pos, long arg1)
    { 
        TextView textView = (TextView)cell.findViewByID(R.id.myTextView);
        String texViewContents = textView.getText().toString();
    }
});
