Here is my code :

ProductAdapter.java

public class ProductAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    Context context;
    List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();
    private boolean showCheckbox;


    public ProductAdapter(Context context, List<Product> products,
            boolean showCheckbox) {
        super();
        this.context = context;
        this.products = products;
        this.showCheckbox = showCheckbox;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return products.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return products.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        if(convertView == null){
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_item, null);
        }

        Product myProduct = products.get(position);

        TextView title = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_title);
        title.setText(myProduct.getTitle());

        TextView cost = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_cost);
        cost.setText(myProduct.getCost());

        CheckBox selectBox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.CheckBoxSelect1);

        if(!showCheckbox){
            selectBox.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
        else{

    Assign inflated xml file to convertView when its null for the first time.

    if(convertView == null){
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_item, null);
    }
