I have designed a listview by inflating each row using inflater and I have changed color of convertView’s elements on their click events. But after scrolling the list the elements loss these changes. How can I “preserve” their state and represent them?
And there is one more query in my mind, when clicking the submit button, how can I calculate the total number of “listitems” which had not been clicked?

Well, you’re saving both states (text and status) in arrays, so at least that part is good. Now you need to check the
states[]in your getView() to set the correct look and feel of your buttons according to it, something like:Then when you submit you can go through these status items and see what was clicked or not.
