Creating multiple selection list Android

I would like to add a form of input in my app where a list of options appear and multiple choices can be selected. I would use a spinner, but that only allows one option to be selected. I would then need for the options selected to be sensed for me to perform further operations with this. I think I would need something involving a checkedlistview but I am not sure. What would be the best way to go about doing this? I hope my situation is understood.
