It

If

extend

to

needs,
you
need
to
set
setOnItemClickListener

http://pulse7.net/android/read-sms-message-inbox-sent-draft-android/

for
your

listview
(lvMsg).
In
that
part
you
can
set

into
your
desired
edittextbox.

Hi
Eshal,
You
have
to
use
custom
row
for
your
listview.
You
can
download
full
source
code
from
download
link.
in
that
code
you
will
find
row.xml
file
which
is
used
for
custom
row.
You
can
put
any
details
