How to get row item infomation when pressing long in listView in Android?

Question

I want to remove the row by deleting its saved value in SharedPreferences when user press long the row.For this reason I need to accsess row's text value as ID. I have set a onItemLongClick() method to my listview in onCreateView() but I'm getting error.

 listView.setLongClickable(true);
 listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {

         SharedPreferences prefs = getActivity().getSharedPreferences("records",getActivity().MODE_PRIVATE);
         SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();

         public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v,int index, long arg3) {

            TextView rowText = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.cName);
            CharSequence name = rowText.getText();

             if(name.equals("A")){

                 editor.remove("aChecked");

             }else if(name.equals("B")){

                 editor.remove("bChecked");

            }
         Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Item removed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                return true;
            }
}); 

Log results :

Try to get data from ListView item data holder :

ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>> list = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
HashMap<String,String> row1= new HashMap<String, String>();
row1.put("cName","A");
list.add(row1);

public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v,int index, long arg3) {
   CharSequence name = list.get(index).get("cName");
}
