getChildAt(position) won't work if you scroll the list. You are just trying to retrieve the data in an unusual way. Like we said before, you should talk to the Adapter, not to ListView to get the data. You could also call obtainItem(int position) on the ListView, which is similar to calling adapter.getItem(int position). However, *in your case*, you will get back a Cursor and there's no way we will know what you want out of this cursor. It's up to you to get the right data out of the cursor.

phew!

finally, (TextView)fruitsList.getChildAt(position)).getText() worked.

But why are all these typecasting acrobatics necessary? I mean why isn't there a simple method that does this?

Or is what I am asking too unusual?

Thanks Mark and thanks Romain.
