On ItemClick() method you can add this to get the id of the product.
HashMap<String,String> data = cityList.get(position);
//position is the paramater from ItemClick
String id = data.get("your key for Id");

why you every time hit the service . as per my opinion don't call service in onItemClick . when you start activity or app start Async task and pass data to list view .
please find below code . i am just refactor few thing so please let me if there some thing wrong

Does anybodey knows what im doing wrong?

You are trying to convert jsonStr to a JSONObject, but in fact is a JSONArray, looking at the LogCat. So convert it to a JSONArray first, then iterate over it and get the data you are looking for.

You can use
JSONArray post_id = new JSONArray(jsonStr);
instead of
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
// Getting JSON Array node
post_id = jsonObj.getJSONArray(TAG_POSTID);
because jsonStr you get is a JSONArray

That is response of you php file, review your code PHP.

try this
JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray(jsonStr);
for(int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++){
JSONObject item = jsonArr.getJSONObject(i);
String postid = item.getString(TAG_POSTID);
String postsubject = item.getString(TAG_POSTSUBJECT);
String posttext = item.getString(TAG_POSTTEXT);
// tmp hashmap for single contact
HashMap < String, String > contact = new HashMap < String, String > ();
// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
contact.put(TAG_POSTID, postid);
contact.put(TAG_POSTSUBJECT, postsubject);
contact.put(TAG_POSTTEXT, posttext);
// adding contact to contact list
NewsList.add(contact);
}

Use this code its working for me.
Here array_sort is an arraylist i.e. list of all the items to be displayed.
Multiple items can be selected with this.

JSON to listView in android

I'm trying to put JSON to ListView. I am getting data from http://api.androidhive.info/contacts/ (only using the name field) I am able to get them to array, but im unable to put them into the list,

however the ListView makes exactly 13 lines for 13 entries (number of names) but the lines are blank.

here is a nice tutorial for you to import json data http://mrbool.com/how-to-use-json-to-parse-data-into-android-application/28944
if its hard for you still.i can suggest you one thing ,you can import your rss to any website and customize it there as you want it to be and post them as json data it will be easier to do i guess.
its a raugh test for geting json data only the method i think its a bit easier and detail u can return the values instead of showing them in a text from the textvw
public void getdata()
{
String result=null;
InputStream inputstream=null;
try{
HttpClient httpclient=new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost=new HttpPost("http://www.hadid.aero/news_and_json");
HttpResponse response=httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity httpentity=response.getEntity();
inputstream= httpentity.getContent();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
resultview.setText(ex.getMessage()+"at 1st exception");
}
try{
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputstream,"iso-8859-1"),8);
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
String line=null;
while((line=reader.readLine())!= null)
{
sb.append(line +"\n");
}
inputstream.close();
result=sb.toString();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
resultview.setText(ex.getMessage()+"at 2nd exception");
}
try{
String s="test :";
JSONArray jarray=new JSONArray(result);
for(int i=0; i<jarray.length();i++)
{
JSONObject json=jarray.getJSONObject(i);
s= s +"+json.getString("lastname")+"\n"+
"newsid&title : "+json.getString("id_news")+" "+json.getString("title")+"\n"+
"date :"+json.getString("date")+"\n"+
"description : "+json.getString("description");
}
resultview.setText(s);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
this.resultview.setText(ex.getMessage()+"at 3rd exception");
}

Check out GSON library which will create Java object with JSON content and use this in Your widget
