This is what it should look like.False items are checked in the snap

Above shows the full code of my project.

These are my requirements:

It is all about event planner for Food. The invited guests can select and save the interested food items such as pizza, Caesar salad, Ameretocokies etc from the items list and mail to the inviter so that the inviter can view the saved items and arrange for the selected items.

you need checked items list right? – SathishKumar Dec 21 '13 at 11:39 — SathishKumar, Dec 21 '13 at 11:39
What do you want, a list of item which is checked??? – InnocentKiller Dec 21 '13 at 11:41 — InnocentKiller, Dec 21 '13 at 11:41

I picked the solution from Romain Guy's solution @

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-developers/No0LrgJ6q2M

I have used a ViewHolder pattern for smooth scrolling and performance. I have used a SparseBooleanArray to get checked items.

I assume you want the items whose corresponding check boxes are checked.

Also check this to understand listview re-cycles views

Now 1 and 2 are checked and when you click the button at the bottom you see the selected text. I checked 1 and 2 manually. However it depends on the response ie True or False. Right now all veg items are true.

Note: The list displays only veg items

If you are using list-view and you want to check list-view item then you can use below code.

int len = mListView.getCount();
SparseBooleanArray checked = mListView.getCheckedItemPositions();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
if (checked.get(i)){
..... // Your code whatever you want to do with selected item..
}
else{
