Get Values from an Object

Question

I tried a few solutions on stack overflow but they seem to not work for me.

I use the following onlongclicklistener

Object j = (Quote) MainActivity.this.adapter.getItem(position);

The following is my object J

Now I would like to get the value of ticker into a string

How do I go about this. Do I need a Hashmap ?

String valueofticker = j.toString(ticker); // How to do this ?

Answer 1

If the items inside the adapter is a list of Quote objects, then you could do this:

class Quote {
     private String ticker;

     // create getter and setter methods here for all
     // the variables in the Quote class.
}

Get Quote using this:

Quote qObj = (Quote) MainActivity.this.adapter.getItem(position);

Get the ticker value like this:

String tickerValue = qObj.getTicker();
// the same will apply for all other variables of the class Quote.

Hope that helps!
