How to save like button state in android?

Question

I am using jd-alexander/LikeButton https://github.com/jd-alexander/LikeButton instead of normal buttons in the android app. The code works fine while enabling and disabling switches. But I want to save the state of the like button. Suppose I enable the like button and swap the list the background code will run fine but the like button state will change to unliked.

Every time when I swap the list the like button state becomes unliked. Is there any way to save the like button State??

Activity codes:

public class CollectorListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Collector> {

    private static final String TAG = "CollectorListAdapter";
    private Context mContext;
    private int mResource;

    public CollectorListAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<Collector> objects) {

        super(context, resource, objects);
        mContext = context;
        mResource = resource;
    }

    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {


        //Get the Shop information
        String Shopname = getItem(position).getName();
        String Specialoffers = getItem(position).getSpecialoffers();
        int Price = getItem(position).getPrice();
        final Double startLatitude = getItem(position).getLatitude();
        final Double startLongitude = getItem(position).getLongitude();
        final String user_id = String.valueOf(getItem(position).getUserid());
        final String shop_id = String.valueOf(getItem(position).getShopid());
        final String product_id = String.valueOf(getItem(position).getProductid());

        //create the view result for showing the animation
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
        convertView = inflater.inflate(mResource, parent, false);
        TextView sname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView);
        TextView tvname = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView7);
        TextView Location = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView9);
        TextView tvdescription = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView10);

        sname.setText(Shopname);
        tvdescription.setText(Specialoffers);
        tvname.setText(CurrencyFormatting(Integer.toString(Price)) + " EGP");
        Location.setText(format(results[0]) + " km");

        LikeButton heart;

        heart = convertView.findViewById(R.id.favBtn);

        heart.setOnLikeListener(new OnLikeListener() {

Answer 1

This is the normal behaviour in ArrayAdapter , the whole list gets recreated again so you lose the state of the button. You should save the boolean of the button in the local list variable. Add a field like isLiked = true/false in the Collector class and update the value at the particular position every time user click like/unlike buttons.
