How to influence elements that are outside the list when clicking on some elements in the list?

I have a ListView in the content_main.xml layout. The contents of this list are set through listview.setAdapter (myCustomAdapter). I also have a TextView in the content_main.xml layout.

I created my own custom adapter called ArrayAdapterItem, which extends ArrayAdapter. In this getView () method of this adapter, I am trying to access the TextView that is contained in content_main.xml. I do not know how to do that. I need to be able to do this because I want to update this TextView with new information if I click on an item in the list. However, I cannot access this through parent.findViewbyId (R.id.main_activity_textView). This method returns null at runtime.

I tried to search for this, but I get answers only on different topics that are not related to mine.

I am new to android. The solution to this may be simple, but I cannot find any tutorials or stackoverflow questions that concern this.
