This gives you the exact value of the item clicked. Check the log

ListView shot = getListView();
shot.setOnItemClickListener(this);

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,long id) {

    String val =(String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
    System.out.println("Value is "+val); 
}
