Why is ListView.getCheckedItemPositions() not returning correct values?

Question

The app has a ListView with multiple-selection enabled, in the UI it works as expected. But when I read the values out using this code:

Log.

This adjustment fixed it for me. Change the getView method so that "int position" is "final int position". Then do this with your checkbox:

((CheckBox) convertView).setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

                public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
                    list.setItemChecked(position, ((CheckBox) buttonView).isChecked());
                }
            });

Let me elaborate. list is a reference to the listview and in my case the adapter is an inner class in the dialog holding the list.
