Disable listview checkbox

I'm using a simple_list_item_checked listview and am programmatically setting checked to true / false. However, when a user selects an item from the list, it changes the state of the checkbox.

It only shows it for a second, because it immediately redirects to another activity.

How can I prevent the checkbox from changing when the user clicks on it?

I ended up creating a custom ArrayAdapter class, following this tutorial http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-listview-example/

But instead of using if String.equals(" "), I used a boolean value called checked. If it's true, use a "checked box" image and if false, use an "unchecked box" image.

Thanks for the help guys. I hope this is help to people in the future.

change your CheckBox clickable property to false programatically as follows 

theCheckBox.setClickable(false);

Maybe you only need to overwrite the onListItemClick() method of the ListActivity, if you use this class as base class for your Activity.

Then you can use the setItemChecked() method of the ListView passed as argument to control the state of the checkbox. I'm using in a project a simple_list_item_single_choice listview and it works quite well.

Create a custom AdapterView instance of simple_list_item_checked. That will solve your problem.
