I have a custom adaptor that is fills a listview with artists names. I want to click on the listview artist and it will return me the list of songs by the artist. I want to get the string value of the artist when i click on the listview and compare it against an arraylist of all the songs

   public void getSongList() {

            //retrieve song info

            ContentResolver musicResolver = getContentResolver();

            Uri musicUri = android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;

             musicCursor = musicResolver.query(musicUri, null, null, null, null);

            if(musicCursor!=null && musicCursor.moveToFirst()){

                //get columns

                int titleColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex

                        (android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE);

                int idColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex

                        (android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID);

                int artistColumn = musicCursor.getColumnIndex

                        (android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST);

                //add songs to list

                do {



                    long thisId = musicCursor.getLong(idColumn);

                    String thisTitle = musicCursor.getString(titleColumn);

                    String thisArtist = musicCursor.getString(artistColumn);

                    songs.add(new Song(thisId,thisTitle,thisArtist));}

                while (musicCursor.moveToNext());

            }



        }









      artistLV.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

                @Override

                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {



                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"am:", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    ArrayList<Song> temp = new ArrayList<>();

                    for (Song song : songs){

    strong text

                        if (song.getArtist().equals("Foo Fighters")){

                            temp.add(song);

                        }

                    }

                    songs = temp;

                    SongAdapter songAdt = new SongAdapter(getApplication(), songs);

                    artistLV.setAdapter(songAdt);

                }

            });

Song selectedSong = songs.get(i); // this will object of data of the selected song

then use

selectedSong.getArtist();

and it will return you the artist of the song that you selected

Add these lines inside your onItemClick method

TextView artistTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.yourTextViewReference);

String artistName= artistTextView.getText().toString();
