You would need to save that data in array or some other data structure.

Example:

List<String> selectionList =new ArrayList<String>();
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
            int position, long id) {
        // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
        MotherTongues state = (MotherTongues) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "Clicked on : " + state.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show();

        //check if its checkbox is checked, and if so add from list else remove from list
        if(isChecked)
            selectionList.add(state.getName());
        else
            selectionList.remove(state.getName());
    }
});

Finally in your button click or wherever you want to send data back:

String [] selectionArray = selectionList.toArray(new String[selectionList.size()]);

And you can pass the String array to another activity using intent.putExtra()

intent.putExtra("selectionArray", selectionArray );

Hope this helps.

It will show error for isChecked. You would need to write code for checking that. Wait, showing you example. — MysticMagicϡ, Nov 25 '14 at 05:39

In Activity1 when you click on edit text icon, you can start your activity using startActivityforResult so that you can get back the result onActivityResult method like this..

Intent intent = new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class); startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

In Same Activity1 add

         @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);




             if (requestCode==0&&resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            //recieve the arraylist of mother tounges sent from Activity2 with values set to true       for checked and false for unchecked...like this 

          ` data.getExtras().getStringArray(key);`


           //refresh your list view using arraylist recieved here from Activit2..



            }
     }

In your Activity2 update arraylist with true/false values when mother tounges are check/unchecked...

and on ok button click, finish your activity this way..

 Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.putExtra(key, your_arraylist);
            setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
            finish();

this will send back the data in your Activity1's onActivityResult() method

can you tell how to check and uncheck – Nov 25 '14 at 06:12 — , Nov 25 '14 at 06:12
