    <p>The app has a <strong>ListView</strong> with multiple-selection enabled, in the UI it works as expected. But when I read the values out using this code:</p> <pre><code>Log.i(TAG,"Entered SearchActivity.saveCategoryChoice()"); SparseBooleanArray checkedPositions = categorySelector.getCheckedItemPositions(); Log.i(TAG,"checkedPositions: " + checkedPositions.size()); if (checkedPositions != null) { int count = categoriesAdapter.getCount(); for ( int i=0;i&lt;count;i++) { Log.i(TAG,"Selected items: " + checkedPositions.get(i)); } } </code></pre> <p>I get this output, no matter what state each checkbox is in:</p> <pre><code>Entered SearchActivity.saveCategoryChoice() checkedPositions: 0 Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false Selected items: false </code></pre> <p>The <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/SparseBooleanArray.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SparseBooleanArray</a> seems to return false for any non-existent item, so the source of the problems seems to be that getCheckedItemPositions() is returning an empty array. The method is behaving as if there are no items in the ListView, but there are.</p> <p>I can see from the docs that no values are returned when the ListView is not set up as multi-select, but it is, using this statement:</p> <pre><code>categorySelector.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE); </code></pre> <p>In my scenario, the adapter I'm using is a subclass of ArrayAdapter, and (without any solid evidence) I suspect this may be the cause, though I can't see why it shouldn't work.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
