I am trying to achieve what should be a very simple task. Create a ListView that allows multiple selection, set some initial values selected, display the ListView and then retrieve the selected items once the user has finished manipulating the list.
I have a custom dialog with a ListView and the following in the constructor ListView theList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.excluded_apps_list); theList.setItemsCanFocus(false); theList.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE); ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, R.layout.appspicker_itemview, test); theList.setAdapter(arrayAdapter); for (String s : _itemNames) { arrayAdapter.add(s); } theList.setItemChecked(0, true); The list displays fine and the first item is checked as expected. Once the dialog closes I do the following to get the checked item positions: ListView theList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.excluded_apps_list); SparseBooleanArray checked = theList.getCheckedItemPositions(); The problem is that even if I deselect the first item and then close the dialog, getCheckedItemPositions() still indicates that the item is checked. If I remove the call to setItemChecked(), everything works fine but I really need the ability to set the inital checked state of the list items. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
