Nope... you've got it backwards.

It would be:
getListView().getChildAt(50 - getListView().getFirstVisiblePosition()))

Really?

So, if I have 100 items in my ListView, and I want to be monkeying around with item #50 I would do:

getListView().getChild(getListView().getFirstVisiblePosition() - 50)) ?

that doesn't seem right...

Didn't mean to send that yet...

You can calculate the correct index by using this:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.html#getFirstVisiblePosition%28%29

You subtract the position in the adapter from the first visible position.

Try using this:

However, beware that the child index is not necessarily the same as the position of the item in the ArrayAdapter due to view recycling.  But you can get the correct index

So, I have a class that implements ListActivity, and it loads up a a list of turns for turn-by-turn navigation.

Essentially I want to decorate the item that is the next waypoint in the list, and when you arrive, de-decorate and decorate the next waypoint in the list.

So, I have been noodling this, but haven't figured out how to do this yet. 

I know I can call setSelected(int) to say which item is the current one, but I don't see how I can get the view associated with the currently selected item.

I don't think getView is right since I am not populating the ListView.

Any ideas?
