Answer 1

If you are confused on how to get the text from selected item , then you should use listview.setOnItemClickListener,

You should go through this example if you have not before.

Answer 2

In list view listener you use that example

 // ListView Item Click Listener
            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

                  @Override
                  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                     int position, long id) {

                   // ListView Clicked item index
                   int itemPosition     = position;

                   // ListView Clicked item value
                   String  itemValue    = (String) listView.getItemAtPosition(position);

                    // Show Alert 
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                      "Position :"+itemPosition+"  ListItem : " +itemValue , Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                      .show();

                  }

             });
