In public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3), arg2 is an int variable containing the position of the clicked item.

If you clicked the second item in your list, your position value would be 1, considering first item to have position 0.

Is it the Text of the item clicked that you want? Then, say you second item has text "Item2". Inside your onItemClick(), do so:

String s = ((TextView)v).getText().toString();

String s will now contain "Item2"

You can use:

 public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int item, long id) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Clicked on item "+item , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Or in your case, arg2 is the position of the item in the list, arg3 is the row id See: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.OnItemClickListener.html
