Android save states of multiple CheckBoxes

Question

I have a lot of checkboxes which I want to save their states and restore them after exit. Here's the code for my listview adapter:

public class ListViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    Context context;
    AppPicker.Package[] packagesForAdapter;
    SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
    private Intent blackListIntent;
    List<Model> list = new ArrayList<Model>();
    ArrayList<Integer> checkBoxPositions = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    public ListViewAdapter(Context context, AppPicker.Package packages[], List<Model> list) {
        this.context = context;
        this.packagesForAdapter = packages;
        this.list = list;
        sharedPreferences = context.getSharedPreferences("CHECKBOXES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
        int count = packagesForAdapter.length;
        for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            checkBoxPositions.add(sharedPreferences.getInt("checkBoxPosition_" + i, 0));
        }
        for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            Log.d("CheckBox positions", checkBoxPositions.get(i).toString());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return packagesForAdapter.length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int i) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int i) {
        return 0;
    }

    static class ViewHolder {
        TextView text;
        ImageView icon;
        CheckBox checkBox;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        ViewHolder viewHolder;
        LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        if(convertView == null) {
            convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
            viewHolder.text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.icon_text);
            viewHolder.icon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.icon_image);
            viewHolder.checkBox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.icon_check);

            convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
        }else{
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }


        viewHolder.checkBox.setTag(position);

        viewHolder.icon.setImageDrawable(packagesForAdapter[position].icon);
        viewHolder.text.setText(packagesForAdapter[position].label);
        viewHolder.checkBox.setChecked(list.get(position).isSelected());
        viewHolder.checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean isCheck) {
                if(isCheck) {
                    int getPosition = (Integer) compoundButton.getTag();
                    list.get(getPosition).setSelected(compoundButton.isChecked());
                    editor.putInt("checkBoxPosition_" + getPosition, getPosition);
                    blackListIntent = new Intent("com.jason.floating.notification.appPickerFragment.ListViewAdapter");
                    blackListIntent.putExtra("packageName", packagesForAdapter[position].name);
                }else{
                    int getPosition = (Integer) compoundButton.getTag();
                    list.get(getPosition).setSelected(compoundButton.isChecked());
                    //editor.remove("checkBoxPosition_" + getPosition);
                    blackListIntent.removeExtra("packageName");
                }
                context.sendBroadcast(blackListIntent);
            }
        });

        return convertView;
    }
}

Log shows all 0s, any idea?

Answer 1

In order to store the state of multiple CheckBox , you need to create bean class(Setter & Getter) and need to store the state of CheckBox.

And save it like

OnCheckedChangeListener myCheckChangList = new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                boolean isChecked) {
            //Update here the state so thet you can retrieve it on getView() method
        }
    };

For Help you can have a look into this, this example exactly do what you want i.e it will save the state but you need to change according to ur requirement.

It seams to me that you forgot to call editor.commit after editor.put
