Get item in ListView when associated ImageButton is Clicked

Question

I have an ImageButton in my child xml layout like this:

<ImageButton 
    android:id="@+id/favoriteButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/citrus_orange"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/feed_item_padding_left_right"
    android:background="@null"
    andorid:onClick="flipVote"/>

I programmatically make this button non-focusable in my adapter:

ImageButton favButton = (ImageButton) convertView.findViewById(R.id.favoriteButton);

favButton.setFocusable(false);

In the same layout, I have a TextView like:

<TextView
     android:id="@+id/store_id"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:visibility="gone" />

The click will call the flipVote(View view) method:

public void flipVote(View view) {
        // make a network call with the value from store_id
     }

How do I get the value from the TextView associated with the clicked button to include with the network call?

In the adapter, you have to intercept the click on the button and in the listener make TextView.getText and then call your method flipVote with the value.

I don't have a listener, the click calls the `flipVote` method automatically. – settheline Jul 23 '14 at 22:21
You don't have a custom adapter? – AlexBalo Jul 23 '14 at 22:26
Perhaps the OP wants users to have to click the button specifically, not just anywhere on the list item? – Max Spencer Jul 23 '14 at 22:26
Yes exactly @MaxSpencer. That was the reason I included `favButton.setFocusable(false);`, as it allows both the button and listview item and the button to be clicked independently. I do indeed have a custom adapter. – settheline Jul 23 '14 at 22:35

I discovered that the proper way to achieve this is by using Tags. I did it like so:

Adapter

// store is data model
favButton.setTag(store.getId());

Activity

// use it in the flipVote(View view) method
public void flipVote(View view) {
        JSONObject storeVoteData = new JSONObject();

try {
    storeVoteData.put("store_id", view.getTag());
    } catch (JSONException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         }
     }

  // make Volley call with JSONObject
}
