    String fullname = (String) l.getItemAtPosition(position);
    Intent bucket = new Intent(SQLView.this, SQLView2.class);

    Bundle b = new Bundle();
    b.putString("fullname", fullname);      
    bucket.putExtras(b);
    startActivity(bucket);
}

Answer 1

If the items are TextViews then use

String fullname = v.getText().toString();

Answer 2

Try this:

String fullname = l.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

Answer 3

getItemAtPosition() returns the Object that is associated with the given position.

So, check the class type that is being return (probably the one you provided) and use the class methods to grab the actual text.

Answer 4

Change your code as if you are using SimpleCursorAdapter or CursorAdapter :

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);


    Cursor cursor = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)l.getAdapter()).getCursor();
    cursor.moveToPosition(position);

    String fullname = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("fullname"));

    Intent bucket = new Intent(SQLView.this, SQLView2.class);

    Bundle b = new Bundle();
    b.putString("fullname", fullname);      
    bucket.putExtras(b);
    startActivity(bucket);

}
