Get selected item name - Android ListView

I have ListView which have items from a database.

My adapter is this:

    Cursor cur = myDb.getCategories();
    // Closing the cursor
    // DEPRECATED!!
    startManagingCursor(cur);

    // Set up mapping from cursor to view fields
    String[] fromFieldNames = new String[] { DBAdapter.KEY_ITEM_CAT };

    int[] toViewIDs = new int[] { R.id.tvItemCat };

    // Create adapter to map columns of DB to elements on UI
    myCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, // Context
                R.layout.category_layout, // Raw layout template
                cur, // Cursor (set of DB records)
                fromFieldNames, // DB column names
                toViewIDs // views ID to putt in list view
    );

    // Set the adapter for list view
    LVCat.setAdapter(myCursorAdapter);

getCategories():

    Cursor c = db.rawQuery("SELECT DISTINCT " + KEY_ITEM_CAT + " as " + KEY_ITEM_ID
            + ", " + KEY_ITEM_CAT + " FROM " + ITEMS_TABLE_NAME, null);

    if (c != null) {
        c.moveToFirst();
    }

    return c;

I want when i click on some item I should get item name. I've search and i found this code:

public void onCatClick(){

    LVCat.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,
                int position, long id) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            String category = LVCat.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
         // String category = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(); --> This also I've tried, but the same result

            System.out.println("Cat: " + category);
        }
    });
}

For other people this works. But I don't get the item name i get something like this: System.out(23858): Cat: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@4197f3a0

So how can I get the selected item name?

Use parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString() in your onItemClickListener to get item.

or use it

TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.tvItemCat);

String value = tv.getText().toString();
