How to extract the text from the selected item on the listView

Use this:

String selectedFromList = (String) (lv.getItemAtPosition(position));

Whatever the datatype you are having in your list, cast accordingly.

Hope it will help. :)

How to extract the text from a currently selected listview element apart from using getSelectedItem?

Have a look here for what getSelectedItem() does. Unless your list has a selection method (check this for a beautiful answer on how to achieve this), you can't use it. Now if you want to do the above when swiping left on a particular row, then you should an OnTouchListener on each row view (to capture the left swipe) and then, as suggested before, use setTag() and getTag() in that same view in order to store and retrieve the string.

How to get text in a selected row in ListView, if ListView got item and subitem

As I commented when you posted the question, you should use:

((TextView)(view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1))).getText().toString()

since the View is not the TextView itself, but the List Item's View.

Glad it solved your problem, by the way. Cheers.

Get TextView string resource from a selected Listview item

If I undersand your issue correctly so you can extract a string from selected row in list view by this code.

        listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long l) {
            TextView textView = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.task_title);
            String text = textView.getText().toString();
        }
    });

Just set OnItemClickListener on your listview. this method will be invoked each time you click on any item in your list.
Inside OnItemClick you have the view of selected row so you can extract any child view from this layout and get your text.
Hope it helps.

How do i extract content from a listview and store it as a string?

Get the text of selected item fro your ListView as follows

    messageListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

    //for getting the position
            String data=messageListView.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

    //for getting the text from selected item
            TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lblMsg); //textView in your listView 
                    String text = textView.getText().toString();
            Log.i("msg", "Selected item: " + text + " - " + position,);
            }
        });

    }

How to extract selected item from ListView?

If your Task is defined within the scope of your Activity, you can use the final keyword:

final String alertBoxTitle = vacation_menu[i];
Sizes work = new Sizes();
work.execute(tempLink);

and

alertbox.setMessage(alertBoxTitle);

If your Task is not within the scope of your Activity you could pass the title as an argument or via a setter. Setter seems easier in your case.

Within your Task:

String title;

public void setTitle(String title) {
  this.title = title;
}

protected void onPostExecute(Float result) {
  AlertDialog.Builder alertbox = new AlertDialog.Builder(Vacation.this);
  alertbox.setMessage(title);
  // ...
}

Use it like this:

Sizes work = new Sizes();
work.setTitle(vacation_menu[i]);
work.execute(tempLink);

Get Selected Items from ListView

Extend ArrayAdapter and override getView method where you need to inflate your own layout. So it'll contain as much switches as you need. Then each switch can implement its own OnCheckedChangeListener so you'll exactly know which switch was changed.

EDIT

Create a new class CustomArrayAdapter that extends ArrayAdapter and override getView.

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // Inflate view
    LayoutInflater inflator = mContext.getLayoutInflater();
    View view = inflator.inflate(R.layout.list_item_topic, null);

    switch = (Switch)view.findViewById(R.id.any_switch);
    switch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });

    // TODO bind other views or anything else you need
    return view;
}
