ListView selection remains persistent after exiting choice mode

Question

I have a ListView subclass that I allow selections on when the context action bar (CAB) is active. The CAB is set as a callback to the onItemLongClick event:

I faced the same issue and since requesting layout doesn't solve the problem for me either I implemented a little hack which works for me. Maybe this is the same issue because I'm switching between CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE and CHOICE_MODE_NONE.

When the action mode ends I'm calling this code snippet. clearChoices makes sure that all items are not checked anymore (internally). The iteration over the views makes sure that all currently visible views are reset and not checked anymore.

mListView.clearChoices();

for (int i = 0; i < mListView.getChildCount(); i++) {
    ((Checkable) mListView.getChildAt(i)).setChecked(false);
}

mListView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_NONE);
