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.         


        

Answer 1

while I do not believe I have tried every variation described here, here is the one that has worked for me :)

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

            CheckedTextView retView = (CheckedTextView) convertView;
...
            retView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
            {
                public void onClick(View v)
                {
                    CheckedTextView chkVw = (CheckedTextView) v; 
//                  chkVw.toggle();
//                  chkVw.setChecked(!chkVw.isChecked());
                    mLstVwWordingSets.setItemChecked(position + 1, !chkVw.isChecked());
                }
            });
...
       }

And later

        SparseBooleanArray checkedItemsArray = mLstVwWordingSets.getCheckedItemPositions();
        for (int i = 1; i <  mLstVwWordingSets.getCount(); i++)         //skip the header view
        {
            if (checkedItemsArray.get(i, false))
                Log.d(_TAG, "checked item: " + i);
        }

I am accessing position + 1 due to a header view that my list has in place.
