android: CheckedTextView cannot be checked?

Question

Initially I wanted a checkmark where the text is placed on the left of the checkmark. After searching on this site I found out the best workaround is android:CheckedTextView

Answer 1

simple answer is to add your own onClickListener, and use : isChecked() method instead of isSelected().

CheckedTextView chkBox = (CheckedTextView) findViewById(R.id.CheckedTextView01);
chkBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v)
    {
        if(((CheckedTextView) v).isChecked()){
            ((CheckedTextView) v).setChecked(false);
        }else{
            ((CheckedTextView) v).setChecked(true);            
        }
    }
});

and get the status using view.isChecked() method.
