I think the MWC example approach is probably suitable (as someone already pointed out), since using the built-in Android multi-select behavior for ListView is really all about the 'click' performing the 'selection' and not really having dual functions.
Having said that, I think you can force the ListView to do most of what you want (whether it is a good UI choice is another matter). Some things to try: * To turn multiple selection mode on: myListView.ChoiceMode = 2 // Multiple (or Android.Widget.ChoiceMode.Mulitple enum for API11+) * To show the multiselect checkbox, use this as your cell layout (in your Adapter) Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleListItemMultipleChoice * To pre-select mulitple items when you create the list, call this as many times as required myListView.SetItemChecked (1, true); // pass position in * OnListItemClick still gets called (if you are using a ListActivity), in it you can access CheckedItemPositions: var sparseArray = FindViewById<ListView>(Android.Resource.Id.List).CheckedItemPositions; for (var i = 0; i < sparseArray.Size(); i++) Console.Write(sparseArray.KeyAt(i) + "=" + sparseArray.ValueAt(i) + ","); Console.WriteLine(); ---- note that the sparseArray contains an element for each item that had its value changed - only the ones where ValueAt(i)==true are _currently_ selected HTH? cd On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 3:30 AM, mlwright <michael.wri...@state.or.us> wrote: > anybody have any ideas on how to do this in mono > > -- > View this message in context: > http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/using-a-checkbox-in-a-listview-tp5598987p5615899.html > Sent from the Mono for Android mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > Monodroid mailing list > Monodroid@lists.ximian.com > > UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: > http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid > >
