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:

Answer 1

I had tried all the approaches discussed above but none of them work for me. Finally, I decide to apply the following workaround. The key idea is that,

During multimode, instead of reusing the "cached" view, we will create a completely new view. Not efficient, but at least "partially" solve my problem.

Here is the code of my customized ArrayAdapter

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // Key to solve this problem. When we are in multimode, we will not reusing the cached view.
    View rowView = this.multimode ? null : convertView;

    if (rowView == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
        rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.watchlist_row_layout, null);
        ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
        viewHolder.textView0 = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.text_view_0);
        viewHolder.textView1 = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.text_view_1);
        viewHolder.textView2 = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.text_view_2);
        rowView.setTag(viewHolder);
    }

Also, I feel safer to have the following code in ActionMode.Callback, although I'm not sure how much it helps.

    @Override
    public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
        MyFragment.this.myArrayAdapter.setMultimode(false);

        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9754170/listview-selection-remains-persistent-after-exiting-choice-mode
        // Using View.post is the key to solve the problem.
        final ListView listView = MyFragment.this.getListView();
        listView.clearChoices();
        for (int i = 0, ei = listView.getChildCount(); i < ei; i++) {
            listView.setItemChecked(i, false);
        }
        listView.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_NONE);
            }
        });
        actionMode = null;
    }

Side Note

Using MultiChoiceModeListener couple with CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL will make this bug gone. However, for device below API level 11 will not able to use this solution.
