This example show how to implement ListView with CheckBox, modified from the post "Custom ListView with ImageView".
At the beginning, I tried to implement OnCheckedChangeListener for the CheckBox; to handle the check state. But, it will be called when the ListView item scroll-out from the screen, and clear the check state unexpectedly.
Finally, I implement OnClickListener. It work as expected.
