The answer of Rahul Garg is good for the first time the list is loaded, if you want some rows to be checked depending on the model data, but after that you have to handle the check/uncheck events by yourself.

You can override the onListItemCLick() of the ListActivity to check/uncheck the rows

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    ViewGroup row = (ViewGroup)v;
 CheckBox check = (CheckBox) row.findViewById(R.id.checkbox);            
    check.toggle();
}

To retrieve the list of checked rows, you have to implement a method yourself, calling getCheckItemIds() on the ListView does not work:

ListView l = getListView();
int count = l.getCount();
for(int i=0; i
