Unable to check/uncheck CheckedTextView inside getView

Question

I\'m loading phone contacts in a custom ListView. Each row is a checkable LinearLayout containing a CheckedTextView and another TextView.

I\'m feeding the list view

Answer 1

When ever you scroll list, every time it calls its getview() method. So, if you have any checkbox or any editbox in listcell it will reinitialize it.

My idea is to store the status (checked or unchecked) of checkbox. So here I used ArrayList first I filled it with false value then on its click event i used to store it actual status.

 class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter  implements OnClickListener   {

    private ArrayList checks=new ArrayList();//Boolean type array to   manage check box

  private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;

    public MyAdapter(Context context, ArrayList> d)
    {
              inflater =     (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

      //fill with false values
    for (int i = 0; i < d.size(); i++) 
    {
            checks.add(i, false);
    }
    }

    public int getCount()
    {
        return data.size();
    }

    public Object getItem(int position)
    {
        return position;
    }

    public long getItemId(int position) 
    {
        return position;
    }




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

        View vi=convertView;

        if(convertView==null)

          vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout., null);

          //Checkbox is of button type----android:button="@drawable/btn_check"
          //make a selector xml for checkbox       

          checkBox=(CheckBox)vi.findViewById(R.id.check_box);


          checkBox.setTag(Integer.valueOf(position));
          checkBox.setOnClickListener(this);
          checkBox.setChecked(checks.get(position));


        return vi;
    }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) 
        {
          int viewId=v.getId();
          if(viewId== R.id.check_box)
          {
            Integer index = (Integer)v.getTag();
            boolean state = checks.get(index.intValue());
            checks.set(index.intValue(), !state);

          }
        }
     }

Update: Solution 2nd: You can put a boolean variable in your ViewHolder class. This boolean variable will used to define wether item is selected or not.

Hope this should help you.
