    <p>I have a listview populated with data from a cursor using SimpleCursorAdapter. I want to make it so I can select multiple items with a checkbox against each item but I can only get it to check a single item at a time i.e. each time I select an item, it will clear the currently selected item.</p> <p>It works fine if I populate the listview using an ArrayAdapter. I can select multiple items. So I dont know why it doesn't work with the SimpleCursorAdapter.</p> <p>This is being created in a DialogFragment if that matters.</p> <p>Really pulling my hair out on this, pleae help!!</p> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>Cursor attributesCursor = mDBHelper.getItemAttributesbyType(menuID, itemID, "M"); getActivity().startManagingCursor(attributesCursor); ListView lv = new ListView(this.getActivity()); LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); lv.setLayoutParams(params); SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter( getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, attributesCursor, new String[] { "AttributeDescription" }, new int[] { android.R.id.text1 },0); attributesLinearLayout.addView(lv); lv.setAdapter(adapter); lv.setItemsCanFocus(false); lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE); </code></pre> <p>Edit : Just to add some extra info, the multi choice listview works if i use this code, where "items" is a simple String array:</p> <pre><code>lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this.getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, items)); </code></pre> <p>Also, this listview is being dynamically added to an existing Linearlayout (attributesLinearLayout) in a dialogfragment which contains other controls. I also tried extending other adapters, including the array adapter and customer item layouts but that again didnt allow me to select multiple items.</p> <p>Please help!!</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.
