How to obtain the checked rows in a custom view li

Question

Can any one tell me how can i obtain the values of the checked rows in a custom view list? For example my code has a custom view list with two text view and a checkbox. Whenever the user checks a row and hits the submit button i need to retrieve the information in the two textview..

The code is

 public class contacts extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener {
        static final String TAG = "contacts";
        ArrayList<String> contactName = new ArrayList<String>();
        ArrayList<String> contactNumber = new ArrayList<String>();

        MyAdapter myAdapter;
        Button AddNumber;
        String numberIntent;
        View vi;
        ListView listView;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.listview);

            getAllContacts(this.getContentResolver());
            listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lists);
            myAdapter = new MyAdapter();
            listView.setAdapter(myAdapter);

            listView.setItemsCanFocus(false);
            listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
            // adding
            AddNumber = (Button) findViewById(R.id.AddNumbers);
            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {



                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                        long arg3) {
                    Object listItem = listView.getItemAtPosition(0);
                    Log.d(TAG,"listView listener" + listItem);
                }
            });

            AddNumber.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    StringBuilder checkedContacts = new StringBuilder();
                    Log.d(TAG, "onClick" + myAdapter.mCheckStates.size());
                    for (int i = 0; i < contactName.size(); i++)

                    {
                        if (myAdapter.mCheckStates.get(i) == true) {
                            checkedContacts.append(contactName.get(i).toString());
                            checkedContacts.append("\n");

                        } else {
                            Log.d(TAG, "No OnClick" + contactName.get(i).toString());
                        }

                mCheckStates.put((Integer) buttonView.getTag(), isChecked);
            }
        }
    }

I cannot seem to figure it out and its a real drain on me now. Any help is highly appreciated.. Thanks.

update

check this link this is extactly what you want to do

try this in your buttons onclick method

SparseBooleanArray checkedItems = listView.getCheckedItemPositions();
if (checkedItems != null) {
    for (int i=0; i<checkedItems.size(); i++) {
        if (checkedItems.valueAt(i)) {
            String item = listView.getAdapter().getItem(
                                  checkedItems.keyAt(i)).toString();
            Log.i(TAG,item + " was selected");
        }
    }
}

in your case you can also do this

for (int i = 0; i < myAdapter.getCount(); i++)
     {
        if (myAdapter.isChecked(i))
        {
             Toast.makeText(context,
              "Item at position " +i+" is Checked!!",
              Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         }
      }

try adding listener to your checkbox in your custom adapter see example here

May this help you

Call isChecked() on a checkbox to get its status.

If you want to count the number of checked Checkboxes then you could store Checkboxes in an ArrayList and loop through that...

Edit

Inside the getView() method, you have to implement a OnCheckedChangeListener for the CheckBox.

For example:

CheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener()

{

    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked)
    {
        if ( isChecked )
        {
            // you should create a reference of the textviews here before you use it..

            String value1 = Textview1.getText();
            String value2 = Textview2.getText();

        }

    }
});

Your Custom Adapter must implement CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener. Use a SparseBooleanArray to get the checked items in the list.

Then

     cb.setChecked(mCheckStates.get(position, false)); 
     cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);

Then use the checked state to set text to check box

      public boolean isChecked(int position) {
        return mCheckStates.get(position, false);
    }

    public void setChecked(int position, boolean isChecked) {
        mCheckStates.put(position, isChecked);

    }

    public void toggle(int position) {
        setChecked(position, !isChecked(position));
    }
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
        boolean isChecked) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if(isChecked)
    {
    buttonView.setText("Hello");
    }
    else
    {
        buttonView.setText("");
    }
     mCheckStates.put((Integer) buttonView.getTag(), isChecked);    

}

Example :

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener{


List<String> name1 = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> phno1 = new ArrayList<String>();
MyAdapter ma ;
Button select
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    getAllCallLogs(this.getContentResolver());
    ListView lv= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv);
     ma = new MyAdapter();
    lv.setAdapter(ma);
    lv.setOnItemClickListener(this); 
    lv.setItemsCanFocus(false);
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
    // adding
    select = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    select.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
              StringBuilder checkedcontacts= new StringBuilder();
            System.out.println(".............."+ma.mCheckStates.size());
            for(int i = 0; i < name1.size(); i++)

                {
                if(ma.mCheckStates.get(i)==true)
                {

                     checkedcontacts.append(name1.get(i).toString());
                     checkedcontacts.append("\n");
                }
                else
                {
                    System.out.println("..Not Checked......"+name1.get(i).toString());
                }

            }
                  Toast.MakeText(MainActivity.this,checkedcontacts,1000).show();
        }       
    });

You can tick the check box and click the button at the bottom and the checked items are displayed in a toast.

Modify the above according to your requirements.
