Answer 1

Handle that on a listener.Try this:

textView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
              Toast.makeText(context, "Position clicked: " + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
});

Answer 2

textView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

      @Override
      public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,long id) {
         String str = (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
         Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), str,   Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();   
      }
});

             if(textView.getText().toString().equals("string.xml"))
              {
                  Toast.makeText(TermActivity.this, "A string resource provides text strings for your application with optional text styling and formatting", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
               //other logic
              }
         }
    });
