Multiple choice listview in Android

Below is a simple yet effective solution of using checkbox in listviews.

XML File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
	android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	android:layout_height="fill_parent">
	<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" />
	<ListView android:id="@+id/list_view" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"></ListView>
	<Button android:id="@+id/show_btn" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Show Selected Items" />
</LinearLayout>

Java source code

public class TryMultipleChoiceListViewActivity extends Activity {
	private ListView lv;
	private String[] s;

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.main);
		lv=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view);
		Button btn=(Button) findViewById(R.id.show_btn);
		s=new String[]{"China","USA","Canada","South Africa"};
		lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,s));
		lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
		btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
			@Override
			public void onClick(View arg0) {
				SparseBooleanArray id=lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
				StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
				for(int i=0;i<lv.getCount();i++)
				{
					if(id.get(i)){
						sb.append(s[i]+" ");
					}
				}
				sb.append("are chosen!");
				Toast.makeText(TryAndroidProgressDialogActivity.this, sb.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
			}
		});
	}
	
}

Hope this can help some people who are new to Android!
