Question

I have a customized ListView like this:

List<Journal_Database> values = localDatabase.getAllJournalNames();
ListView journalNames = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.JournalList);
journalNames.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
journalNames.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Journal_Database>(
            this,R.layout.journal_name_list_black_text,R.id.list_content, values));

How could I set the CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE ?

I tried this:

 journalNames.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

But nothing happens.

EDIT :

I have found the solution, you can copy the choice_mode_multiple.xml file from the SDK folder to your project and change it.

I have this now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<CheckedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:checkMark="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"
android:paddingLeft="6dip"
android:paddingRight="6dip"
/>

And in the java code:

List<Journal_Database> values = localDatabase.getAllJournalNames();
    ListView journalNames = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.JournalList);
    journalNames.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Journal_Database>(
            this,R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,android.R.id.text1, values));
    journalNames.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

Thank You

Some Example like this…

public class MyList extends ListActivity {


/** Called when the activity is first created. */

public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    // Create an array of Strings, that will be put to our ListActivity
    String[] names = new String[] { "Linux", "Windows7", "Eclipse", "Suse",
            "Ubuntu", "Solaris", "Android", "iPhone", "Linux", "Windows7",
            "Eclipse", "Suse", "Ubuntu", "Solaris", "Android", "iPhone" };
    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,
            android.R.id.text1, names));
    ListView listView = getListView();
    listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
}
