            contact_list);
    ListView lv = getListView();
    setListAdapter(this.mContactAdapter);
    lv.setItemsCanFocus(false);
    lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
    // }
    mViewcontacts = new Runnable() {

Answer 1

i found the answer.... i had just taken a new variable in contact class...

public class PlanetsActivity extends Activity {
private ListView mainListView;
private Contact[] contact_read;
private Cursor mCursor;
private ArrayAdapter<Contact> listAdapter;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    // Find the ListView resource.
    mainListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mainListView);

    mainListView
            .setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View item,
                        int position, long id) {
                    Contact planet = listAdapter.getItem(position);
                    planet.toggleChecked();
                    ContactViewHolder viewHolder = (ContactViewHolder) item
                            .getTag();
                    viewHolder.getCheckBox().setChecked(planet.isChecked());
                }
            });

    // Throw Query and fetch the contacts.

    String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER,
            Contacts._ID, Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME };

    mCursor = managedQuery(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection,

    if (mCursor != null) {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
        contact_read = new Contact[mCursor.getCount()];

        // Add Contacts to the Array

        int j = 0;
        do {

            contact_read[j] = new Contact(mCursor.getString(mCursor
                    .getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));

        } while (mCursor.moveToNext());

    } else {

    }

    // Add Contact Class to the Arraylist

    ArrayList<Contact> planetList = new ArrayList<Contact>();

Answer 2

nameCheckBox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                isChecked[position_clicked] = position;
                Log.d("position", String.valueOf(position));
            }
        });

this code in add more one arre list in stores all position and add or remove both said fast add ,second remove. and used to list in position your other method

Answer 3

The cause of this is that when you call nameCheckBox.setChecked() in code OnClickListener() awakes and run its code. I had the same problem an solved in just setting OnClickListener(null) before set a checkbox checked or not.
