Problem with using checkbox inside listview

Question

I am trying to use check box inside a listview. But i'm unable to select the list item if i keep check box inside the listview. If i use checkbox, i cant select List item. How to overcome this problem? Any help is highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In list view there is a property called focusable set it true and also try setting Draw selector to true. With this you should be able to focus or select the list item.

Now for check box, have setOnCheckedChangeListener (CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener listener) implemented to handle the check box change state.

Answer 2

I think this should work.raj's answer is also correct.

ArrayList<String>  displayName = new ArrayList();

displayName.add("A");
displayName.add("B");
displayName.add("C");

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, displayName));
listView= getListView();
listView.setItemsCanFocus(false);
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

Answer 3
