    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
        int position, long id) {
      // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),

Maybe you can try this

String data = (String)shot.getItemAtPosition(arg2);
AlertDialog.Builder adb = new AlertDialog.Builder(arg1.getContext());              
adb.setMessage(data).show();
