use logic below on onBindView:

holder.attenCheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean b) {
                if (holder.attenCheckBox.isChecked())
                    dataModel.setChecked(true);
                else
                    dataModel.setChecked(false);
            }
        });

        if (dataModel.getChecked())
            holder.attenCheckBox.setChecked(true);
        else
            holder.attenCheckBox.setChecked(false);
        holder.checkboxLinearLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (holder.attenCheckBox.isChecked())
                    holder.attenCheckBox.setChecked(false);
                else
                    holder.attenCheckBox.setChecked(true);
            }
        });

Explanation:

• you need to store a flag in the data pojo to keep track of check status
• using that flag with setOnCheckedChangeListener will enable you to have you checked enable/disable. Make sure you put flag after listener.
