How to attach some "metadata" to Android Listview items?

class Venue {
  private int id;
  private String name;
}

I populate the ListView with something like

List<String> venueNames = data.getVenueNames();
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, venueNames));

So after the user selects a particular list item, I'd like to do a SQLite query with the venue id, but this information is lost when creating the venue names. How do you guys s开发者_如何学编程olve this?

EDIT: I should mention that it isn't guaranteed that venue name is unique.

Your problem is here:

List<String> venueNames = data.getVenueNames();

Don't do that. You are the one "losing" the information. If you don't want to lose it, don't lose it.

The simplest thing is to create an ArrayAdapter<Venue>, and have Venue's toString() return name. Then, calling getItem() on your ArrayAdapter<Venue> will return a Venue.
