I achieved this by creating a custom Adapter. All you need to do is to create a new class that extends the BaseAdapter abstract class, then for the implementation you can take a look at the following sample from the API demos:
http://code.google.com/android/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List14.html that example will show you how to set view elements in a custom list item. For this to work with the layout you're using you need to modify the getView method. I'll copy mine so you can get the idea. public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { ViewHolder holder; if (convertView == null) { convertView = mInflater.inflate( android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, null); holder = new ViewHolder(); holder.checkbox = (CheckedTextView) convertView.findViewById (android.R.id.text1); convertView.setTag(holder); } else { holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag(); } holder.checkbox.setText(tasks.get(position).getName()); holder.checkbox.setChecked(tasks.get(position).isCompleted()); return convertView; } static class ViewHolder { CheckedTextView checkbox; } Hope this helps Armando On Nov 9, 5:30 am, songs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've got a multi-choice checkbox list being populated from a database > using the code below, but I can't figure out how to set the initial > checked state based on one of other columns.
