simple onListItemClick() arguments

I'm kind of new here so please bear with me if this seems like a stupid question. I'm currently using onListItemClick to retrieve the id of the selected ListItem. I'm quite confused about the difference between the int position and long id argument. Is it the same? Could someone kindly explain it please. Thank you in advanced.

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    Cursor c = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)l.getAdapter()).getCursor();
    c.moveToPosition(position);
    int _id = (int)c.getLong(0);
    //int _id = (int) id;
    String word_id = Integer.toString(_id);

    Toast.makeText(this, word_id, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

I was planning to use as simple button instead of the above method but I didn't know how to retrieve the ListView for the Activity.
