Can't set OnCheckedChangeListener to a Checkbox

Question

I am trying to set a OnCheckedChangeListener to a CheckBox but my application exits in the run time. I also tried to set listeners for my Tex

Answer 1

You can't set the listener for your CheckBox from the ListView like that(it will probably throw a NullPointerException), instead set the listener in the getView() method(you'll also have to keep the CheckBox status so you don't end up with strange rows status). Bellow is an example:

public class ListViewActivity extends ListActivity {

    public class MyCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {

        private ArrayList status = new ArrayList();

        public MyCustomAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
                String[] objects) {
            super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
            for (int i = 0; i < objects.length; i++) {
                status.add(false);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(final int position, View convertView,
                ViewGroup parent) {
            View row = convertView;
            if (row == null) {
                LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
                row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.adapters_listviewactivity_row,
                        parent, false);
            }

            TextView label = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.weekofday);
            label.setText(month[position]);
            CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox) row.findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
            checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

                @Override
                public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                        boolean isChecked) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "" + position,
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    if (isChecked) {
                        status.set(position, true);
                    } else {
                        status.set(position, false);
                    }
                }
            });
            checkBox.setChecked(status.get(position));
            return row;
        }
    }

    String[] month = { "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
            "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setListAdapter(new MyCustomAdapter(ListViewActivity.this,
                R.layout.main, month));
    }

}

For the TextView you'll have to do the same thing.
