How to set some extra information for each item on GridView in Android?

Question

I have a GridView in which every item must have an ID other than its position in the grid so that I can pass that id using Intents to another activity?
How can I specify this extra parameter and how can I access it inside onItemClick method?

Edit:

int catID = cu.getInt(0);
myView.setTag((Object) catID);

That's how I use setTag method.

Intent categoryActivity = new Intent(getParent(), CategoryActivity.class);
categoryActivity.putExtra("itemId", (Integer) v.getTag());
startChildActivity("CategoryActivity", categoryActivity);

And this how I use getTag.
I'm wondering if I'm doing it correctly?!

Answer 1

You can use View.setTag() and View.getTag() methods for this.
