[android-developers] Re: Problem getting string from database

Some how I can't get that to work. I've made it work before exactly
like you mentioned with info.id but now it doesn't work.
This time I'm using a custom listview with checkboxes, could this have
anything to do with it?
I made a work around though, I added the _id when first filling the
list as a long for every post. So when I select an item and open the
context menu it takes the _id from the custom listview instead and
then it works.

Thanks for your suggetions!
