Answer 1

You should never call the ListAdapter 's getView() method. It is only supposed to be called by the system when scrolling though the ListView . Instead you need to update the list by calling mListView.getAdapter().notifyDataSetChanged() .

Add a boolean field in the adapter and update its value when the button is clicked.

Answer 2

You can create a model/data class based on your data and keep a Boolean variable for checkbox visibility. So default make it false and on button click get the position of list-view item and update Boolean variable to true, and do adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() .

You can also try with :

((YourAdapter) yourListView.getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
