Android: Cursoradapter, Listview and Checkbox

Maintaining checkbox states in listview with CursorAdapter

Reason : ListView re-uses the views.

Solution :

class VocabCursorAdapter extends CursorAdapter {
    List<Integer> selectedItemsPositions;//to store all selected items position

    public VocabCursorAdapter(Context context, Cursor c,int flags) {
        super(context, c,0);
        selectedItemsPositions = new ArrayList<>();
    }

    @Override
    public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_vocab, viewGroup, false);
        CheckBox box = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(R.id.editCheckbox);
        box.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean b) {
                int position = (int) compoundButton.getTag();
                if (b) {
                    //check whether its already selected or not
                    if (!selectedItemsPositions.contains(position))
                        selectedItemsPositions.add(position);
                } else {
                    //remove position if unchecked checked item
                    selectedItemsPositions.remove((Object) position);
                }
            }
        });
        return view;
    }

    @Override
    public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {

        //your other stuff

        CheckBox box = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(R.id.editCheckbox);
        box.setTag(cursor.getPosition());

        if (selectedItemsPositions.contains(cursor.getPosition()))
            box.setChecked(true);
        else
            box.setChecked(false);
    }
}

Android: CursorAdapter, ListView and CheckBox

There are a few concerns with the ListView when having checkable items in it. I would suggest the following link:

I think it's close to what you want.

CursorAdapter in Listview

problem is when you update your database just database going to update not cursor that adapt your cursor adapter ,so you have to use

 changeCursor(newcursor);

in your adapter after updating your database.
hope this help you.

Android save Checkbox State in ListView with Cursor Adapter

I would recommend you use Android's built-in support for multiple-choice lists (CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE).

The List11.java SDK sample demonstrates this. You can also find a project from one of my tutorials that uses it here.

You can still use this technique with your own layout, so long as you include a CheckedTextView with android:id="@android:id/text1" as shown in the android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice resource, a copy of which ships with your SDK.

Also, see this question and this question and this question and this question.

Checkbox listener in ListView with CursorAdapter

To avoid triggering callbacks on listener, you should unregister existing one by cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(null) then set cb.setChecked(c.getBoolean(c.getColumnIndex("state"))) then cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener() again.

However you should think of a better way of using that OnCheckedChangeListener, since you would end up creating listeners more than needed.
