android - Problems with getSelectedItem() in extended gallery

Question

I'm having weird issues calling getSelectedItem() in my onDraw() function in my extended Gallery class. For some reason it gives me an Integer back when i'm expecting my own object. When i debug and look in the adapter it shows that it's filled with my objects. Any idea why it isn't returning what i expect?

Edit : It looks like it's returning the index.

Edit : Go figure, bad code on my part. In my adapter i did the following:

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return position;
}
