Selecting multiple items in ListView

by

Actually you can 😉 It’s just a matter of user experience, right?

Try this, (1) for list control set

listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);   
listView.setItemsCanFocus(false);

(2) define list item as

<CheckedTextView 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="6dip"
    android:paddingRight="6dip"
    android:checkMark="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"
    android:background="@drawable/txt_view_bg" />

This is same as android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice except
android:background="@drawable/txt_view_bg

(3) And define drawable txt_view_bg.xml as

<item android:drawable="@drawable/selected"
  android:state_checked="true" />  
<item android:drawable="@drawable/not_selected" />

Note:- The preferred way to handle multiple choice is to track choices your-self with on click item click, rather than depending on its state in list.
