how to add a listener for checkboxes in an adapter view, Android, ArrayAdapter, onCheckedChanged, OnCheckedChangeListener

Question

I have a listView that by way of an ArrayAdapter is populated by small xml sub views. each small view only has two things inside, a checkbox and a string label next to it. i want to set an onCheckedChanged listener to capture the event of the user checking or unchecking the checkboxes. for example the listener shown here: ``` listView.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() { @Override public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,boolean isChecked) { Toast.makeText(this, "box has been checked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } ``` } where do I put the listener code? and how do I set it up? code for the ArrayAdapter: ``` public class MobileArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<CheckBoxInfo>{ CheckBoxInfo[] objects; Context context; int textViewResourceId; public MobileArrayAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, CheckBoxInfo[] objects) { super(context, textViewResourceId, objects); this.context = context; this.textViewResourceId = textViewRes…

Accepted Answer

Do not use your example `listView.setOnCheckedChangeListener` or `onCheckedChanged` code.

First of all, for `CheckBox`, you should use `setOnClickListener()` instead of `setOnCheckedChangeListener()`. You can get the checked state inside of the `onClick()` function.

Second, place your `setOnClickListener()` inside of the `getView()` function of the list adapter.

Example:

```
checkBox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        final boolean isChecked = checkBox.isChecked();
        // Do something here.
    }
});
```
