MainActivity ---> ShowDetailActivity ---> EditCourseDetailActivity ---- | | MainActivity <----ShowDetailActivity <---------------------------------

For ListView (MainActivity), you can do setOnItemClickListener. For example:

MainActivity.java

ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.yourlistview);
list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.onItemClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int position, long id) {
      // use position to find your values
      // to go to ShowDetailsActivity, you have to use Intent
      Intent detailScreen = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ShowDetailActivity.class);
      detailScreen.putExtra("position", position); // pass value if needed
      detailScreen.putExtra("para2", para2);
      startActivity(detailScreen);
   } 
});

DetailScreen.java

This is how you receive from MainActivity.

Intent i = getIntent();
int position = i.getIntExtra("position", 0);

Then when Edit button is clicked, use the intent to go to next activity (EditCourseDetails).
