Multiple Selection in Custom Listview with Cab

Multiple selection in custom ListView with CAB

Using ActionBarSherlock the MultiChoiceModeListener used in Luksprog´s answer is not yet available if you want to support API level < 11.

A workaround is to use the onItemClickListener.

List setup:

listView = (ListView) timeline.findViewById(android.R.id.list);
listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
listView.setItemsCanFocus(false);
listView.setAdapter(new ListAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.cleaning_list_item, items));

Listener of ListFragment or ListActivity:

@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    SparseBooleanArray checked = listView.getCheckedItemPositions();
    boolean hasCheckedElement = false;
    for (int i = 0; i < checked.size() && !hasCheckedElement; i++) {
        hasCheckedElement = checked.valueAt(i);
    }

    if (hasCheckedElement) {
        if (mMode == null) {
            mMode = ((SherlockFragmentActivity) getActivity()).startActionMode(new MyActionMode());
            mMode.invalidate();
        } else {
            mMode.invalidate();
        }
    } else {
        if (mMode != null) {
            mMode.finish();
        }
    }
}

Where MyActionMode is an implementation of ActionMode.Callback:

private final class MyActionMode implements ActionMode.Callback { /* ... */ }

Android contextual action bar with custom ListView not allowing multiple selection

Multiple selection not exist

Selected items (rows) not colored to indicate they are selected

Presumably, you are not setting up the activated style for your list rows, which governs both of these.

How to change... color of the CAB

A custom theme should be able to do it. The rules should vary somewhat based on whether you are using the native action bar, older versions of appcompat-v7, or current editions of appcompat-v7. There are plenty of existing Stack Overflow material on this.

Show some text on the CAB

There is setTitle() and setSubtitle() on ActionMode that you can call.

See this sample app for a demonstration of using the activated style and titles/subtitles. In it, the ListView is in normal mode until the user long-presses on a row, in which case it switches to multiple-choice-modal operation.

Anyone who have doubts in this can ask me...

Deleting multiple selected items in custom listview dosn't work with ImageButton

Finally, I found the answer :
we have to set

    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

in root list item element and set

    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

in the ImageButton view.
