android: How to get the ID of a textview when clicked?

I have an activity that queries from sqllite and display the output to xml

this is part of the activity

( (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_id) ).setText( listItem.getId()+"");
( (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_name) ).setText( listItem.getName() );
( (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_age) ).setText( listItem.getAge()+"" );

and this is the xml:

<TableLayout 
  android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
  android:id="@+id/TableLayout01" 
  android:layout_below="@+id/tv_age" 
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
  android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/tv_name">
  <TableRow 
   android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
   android:layout_below="@+id/tv_age" 
   android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
   android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/TableLayout01"   
   android:id="@+id/TableRow01">
   <TextView 
    android:layout_width="10dip" 
    android:layout_height="30dip"     
    android:id="@+id/tv_id" 
    android:text=""     
    android:layout_centerVertical="true">
   </TextView>
   <TextView 
    android:layout_width="100dip" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="" android:id="@+id/tv_name" 
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" 
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/tv_id" 
    android:layout_marginLeft="10px">
   </TextView>
   <TextView 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="" android:id="@+id/tv_age" 
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" 
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/tv_name" 
    android:layout_marginLeft="10px">
   </TextView>
  </TableRow>
 </TableLayout>

Now this works fine. It displays the resulting query. Now, I want to create another activity which responds to the long press or just one touch when the query is displayed. How can I get the ID of the pressed textview so I can use it for the other activity?

many thanks for your help.

Do like this instead:

TextView tvId = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_id);
tvId.setText( listItem.getId()+"");
tvId.setOnClickListener(this);

and then in the onClickEvent you get the id of the text view like "apps" write, with the getId() method.

if you want the String of the id you can use the following method:

String name = getIDName(MyTextView, R.id.class);

public static String getIDName(View view, Class<?> clazz) throws Exception {

        Integer id = view.getId();
        Field[] ids = clazz.getFields();
        for (int i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
            Object val = ids[i].get(null);
            if (val != null && val instanceof Integer
                    && ((Integer) val).intValue() == id.intValue()) {
                return ids[i].getName();
            }
        }

        return "";

    }
