Question

I have a list view set to multiple choices, my question is is there a way to track what was “checked” by its name?

Intent formed = new Intent(this, formedlist.class);
SparseBooleanArray sp=getListView().getCheckedItemPositions();
String str="";
for(int i=0;i<sp.size();i++) {
    str+=names[sp.keyAt(i)]+",";
    formed.putExtra("strings", str);
    if(names[sp.keyAt(i)].toString().equals(<String>))
        startActivity(formed);
}

is this how I should be iterating through the string? and is the code for the next class that supposed to show the newly formed list is

if(names[sp.keyAt(i)].toString().equals(<String>))


//get the Listview from the previous class (this is in a new class seperate from other methods
    Intent formed = getIntent();
    String [] needed = formed.getStringArrayExtra("strings");

    //ArrayAdapter will makes strings appear in the ListView
    this.setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, needed));` 

the way to see what is inside of the list of checked items?

I don’t see a problem using this approach. Are you having a problem doing it this way?

You are not creating the intent correctly. To create an Intent for navigating to a separate Activity, use this format

Intent formed = new Intent(this, OtherActivity.class);

If you are never executing inside the if statement, try logging what values you are comparing, or stepping through with the debugger to see where things go awry.
