Change Checkbox value without triggering onCheckChanged

Question

I have setOnCheckedChangeListener implemented for my checkbox

Is there a way I can call

checkbox.setChecked(false);
         


        

Answer 1

This is a simple solution I used:
Define a custom listener:

class CompoundButtonListener implements CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener {

    boolean enabled = false;

    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean checked) {

    }

    void enable() {
        enabled = true;
    }

    void disable() {
        enabled = false;
    }

    boolean isEnabled() {
        return enabled;
    }
}

Initialization:

CompoundButtonListener checkBoxListener = new CompoundButtonListener() {
    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean checked) {
        if (isEnabled()) {
            // Your code goes here
        }
    }
};
myCheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(checkBoxListener);

Usage:

checkBoxListener.disable();

// Some logic based on which you will modify CheckBox state
// Example: myCheckBox.setChecked(true)

checkBoxListener.enable();
