Symfony2 entity type check box set preferred choices

I have the following form filed in the edit form.

->add('district', 'entity', array(
                    'class' => 'AdminBundle:Districts',
                               'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $repository) {
                return $repository->createQueryBuilder('c')
                                    ->where('c.status =:status')
                                    ->setparameter('status','1');
            },
                    'property' => 'districtName',
                    'preferred_choices' => array($details->getDistrict()),
                    'multiple' => TRUE,
                    'expanded' => TRUE,
                    'required' => true,

                        )
                )

Output of this is checkboxes. I can check more districts here. In the edit mode how to set the preferred choices?

OK, you need to use an EventListener against the form. See documentation for more information.

This will allow you to pre set form data

Example ()

/* Form */

 namespace Company\YourBundle\Form\Type;

 use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
 use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
 use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
 use Company\YourBundle\Form\EventListener\YourEventListener;

 class FormType extends AbstractType {

     public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
         $builder->addEventSubscriber(new YourEventListener($builder->getFormFactory()));
     }

     public function getName() {
         return 'company_formtype';
     }

}

/* Event Listener (You may require to pass more data to this class from your form as I have little information to help you with)*/

 namespace Company\YourBundle\Form\EventListener;

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvents;

class ActivityListener implements EventSubscriberInterface {

private $form;

public function __construct($form) {
    $this->form = $form;
}

public static function getSubscribedEvents() {
    return array(
        FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA => 'onPreSetData',
    );
}

public function onPreSetData(FormEvent $e) {
    $data = $e->getData();
    $form = $e->getForm();

    if ($form->has('district')) {
        $form->remove('district');
    }

    $form->add($this->form->createNamed('district', 'entity', null, array(
                        'class' => 'AdminBundle:Districts',
                           'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $repository) {
            return $repository->createQueryBuilder('c')
                                ->where('c.status =:status')
                                ->setparameter('status','1')},
                                'property' => 'districtName',
                'preferred_choices' => $data['id'] ? /** in edit mode set the preferred **/ ? null,
                'multiple' => TRUE,
                'expanded' => TRUE,
                'required' => true,

                    ));
      }

 }
