android - get textview ID as string

I have the following XML TextView layout:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
    android:paddingRight="5dp"
    android:id="@+id/txt0027_PDY911"
    android:tag="canPlot"
    style="@style/STD_Block_BEL.FieldLabel"
    android:text="0.00" />

which has a onTouch() event bound.
In the onTouch() I need to obtain the textview's id (txt0027_PDY911) as string in order to run a query with it. getId() returns an integer - how can I get the string?

Thanks

you can try :

text.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) {
                ...
                String id= v.getResources().getResourceName(v.getId());
            }

        });

you can use getResources().getResourceEntryName(getId()) or getResources(). getResourceName(getId()). The former returns the entry name for a given id. The latter returns the full name for a given id. This name is a single string of the form "package:type/entry".
