could suggest me, need use or it? thank you

the parameter int position of method onitemclick() on adapterview.onitemclicklistener gives you:

the position of view in adapter.

see here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/adapterview.onitemclicklistener.html#onitemclick(android.widget.adapterview, android.view.view, int, long)

you can use retrieve content of view arrayadapter with:

adapter.getitem(position) 

see here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/arrayadapter.html#getitem(int)

this return content of arrayadapter @ given position, in case string, can store in variable if or pass directly toast.maketext().
