Question

I need to add a checkbox to this listview, I have the row.xml setup with a textview/chrono/checkbox. Do I have to show the checkbox in my baseadapter extending? Also why does that getSystemService() error out on me?

package com.walkarchdev.tasktracker;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.Chronometer;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class TTAdapterView extends BaseAdapter {

public View v;

public TTAdapterView(Context context){
    super();

}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
    this.v = convertView;

    if(v==null){
        LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        v = vi.inflate(R.layout.row, null);
    }
    TextView task = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    Chronometer time = (Chronometer)v.findViewById(R.id.chronometer1);
    //Checkbox complete = (Checkbox)v.findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);

    return v;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}


}

why does that getSystemService()
error out on me?

getSystemService() is a method on Context. Save the context passed as an argument in the constructor and use it to call the getSystemService() method

Do I have to show the checkbox in my baseadapter extending?

If you intend to use the states of checkbox then you must store it in a variable in order to monitor the checked states
