return more than one value in multiple choice in Android

I have ListView with multiple choice items, I want whenever user check more than one item, return all its checked values.
SparseBooleanArray checked = lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
ArrayList<String> selectedItems = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < checked.size(); i++) {
int position = checked.keyAt(i);
if (checked.valueAt(i))
selectedItems.add(String.valueOf(ard.getItem(position)));
}
String[] outputStrArr = new String[selectedItems.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < selectedItems.size(); i++) {
outputStrArr[i] = selectedItems.get(i);
Pushbots.sharedInstance().setAlias(outputStrArr[i]);
}
...
In this case, only last checked value is took ...

Output of listview getItemAtPosition() method gives unreadable output

My listview is from a layout where its id is #android:id/list. It is part of the android.R.id.list. I used a SimpleCursorAdapter to setAdapter to listview. The listview contains checkboxes with contact names such as Emily Andrews, Susan John... I wanted to know the names of the contacts which were selected by the user. When I use the code below, it prints an object android.content.ContentResolver.cursorWrapper... I am not sure how to interpret this and know which contact name was selected. Is there a way I can make the output of listview.getItemAtPosition() readable?
Code:
public void blockCheckedItems(View view) {
// int cntChoice = lv.getCount();
checked = new ArrayList<String>();
unchecked = new ArrayList<String>();
int itempositions=adapter.getCount();
SparseBooleanArray sparseBooleanArray = lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
int countChoice = lv.getChildCount();
Log.d("" + countChoice, "CountChoice===============================");
Log.d("" + sparseBooleanArray,"sparseBooleanArray -------------------------");
for(int i = 0; i < countChoice; i++)
{
if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == true)
{
checked.add(lv.getItemAtPosition(i).
.toString());
}
else if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == false)
{
unchecked.add(lv.getItemAtPosition(i).toString());
}
}
for(int i = 0; i < checked.size(); i++){
Log.d("checked list&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&", "" + checked.get(i));
}
for(int i = 0; i < unchecked.size(); i++){
Log.d("in unchecked list&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&", "" + unchecked.get(i));
}
}

When listview adapter is a cursor adapter then listview.getItemAtPosition() return a cursor pointed to that row. So you have to get data from that cursor like this:
Cursor cursor = listview.getItemAtPosition();
String name = cursor.getString(0);
I just assume that 0 is the index of first name column in that database which cursor is representing, It could be 2 , 3 ...

ListView getItemAtPosition(i) Method gives unreadable object

I wanted to view the items selected in my listview with checkboxes. However, when I try to print out lv.getItemAtPosition(i).toString() it gives me a `` object. How can I convert this to a readable format?
public void blockCheckedItems(View view) {
// int cntChoice = lv.getCount();
checked = new ArrayList<String>();
unchecked = new ArrayList<String>();
int itempositions=adapter.getCount();
SparseBooleanArray sparseBooleanArray = lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
int countChoice = lv.getChildCount();
Log.d("" + countChoice, "CountChoice===============================");
Log.d("" + sparseBooleanArray,"sparseBooleanArray -------------------------");
for(int i = 0; i < countChoice; i++)
{
if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == true)
{
checked.add(lv.getItemAtPosition(i).toString());
}
else if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == false)
{
unchecked.add(lv.getItemAtPosition(i).toString());
}
}
for(int i = 0; i < checked.size(); i++){
Log.d("checked list&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&", "" + checked.get(i));
}
for(int i = 0; i < unchecked.size(); i++){
Log.d("in unchecked list&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&", "" + unchecked.get(i));
}
}

try something like this:
if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == true)
{
checked.add(Boolean.toString(sparseBooleanArray.get(i)));
}
else if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == false)
{
unchecked.add(Boolean.toString(sparseBooleanArray.get(i)));
}

I have solved the above questions by changing the following code and using Cursor and keeping everyother part of the above code the same.
for(int i = 0; i < countChoice; i++)
{
if(sparseBooleanArray.valueAt(i) == true)
{
Cursor cursor = (Cursor) lv.getItemAtPosition(i);
String name = cursor.getString(1);
checked.add(name);
}
else if(sparseBooleanArray.valueAt(i) == false)
{
Cursor cursor = (Cursor) lv.getItemAtPosition(i);
String name = cursor.getString(1);
unchecked.add(name);
}
}

Android :How to count no checked items of checkboxes in listview

Android :How to count no checked items of checkboxes in listview when using Simple cursor Adapter

Call getCheckedItemCount() on the ListView.

int cntChoice = listView.getCount();
String checked = "";
String unchecked = "";
SparseBooleanArray sparseBooleanArray = listView.getCheckedItemPositions();
for(int i = 0; i < cntChoice; i++)
{
if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == true)
{
// checked = listView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString() ;
checked= list1.get(i).toString();
Log.i("CheckedItem", checked);
}
else if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == false)
{
//unchecked= listView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();
unchecked= list1.get(i).toString();
Log.i("uncheckedItem", unchecked);
}
}
Hope this will help you. For more reference.

get checked items from listview in android

I have a dynamic listview with one text and one checkbox per line.when i click a button.,i need to get all checked item names & Unchecked item names separately as arraylilst.How could i do that.Examples are much better..
I used..
SparseBooleanArray checked = mainlw.getCheckedItemPositions();
for (int i = 0; i < checked.size(); i++) {
if(checked.valueAt(i) == true) {
Planet tag = (Planet) mainlw.getItemAtPosition(checked.keyAt(i));
String selectedName=tag.getName();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), selectedName, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

Try this out and implement this logic according to your requirement.
int cntChoice = myList.getCount();
String checked = "";
String unchecked = "";
SparseBooleanArray sparseBooleanArray = myList.getCheckedItemPositions();
for(int i = 0; i < cntChoice; i++)
{
if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == true)
{
checked += myList.getItemAtPosition(i).toString() + "\n";
}
else if(sparseBooleanArray.get(i) == false)
{
unchecked+= myList.getItemAtPosition(i).toString() + "\n";
}
}

use CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE in your ListView and use getCheckedItemPositions() to get the checked ones.

So Onclick of button u can do this,From this you will get the items that are checked:-
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
System.out.println("check"+getListView().getCheckItemIds().length);
for (int i = 0; i < getListView().getCheckItemIds().length; i++)
{
System.out.println(getListView().getAdapter().getItem((int)getListView().getCheckItemIds()[i]).toString());
}
}
