Android: Get checked checkbox values

Question

I need to get checked checkbox values when button clicked. Java Code:

dualcamera1 = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.Camera1_DualDisplay);
dualcamera2 = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.Camera2_DualDisplay);
dualcamera3 = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.Camera3_DualDisplay);
dualcamera4 = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.Camera4_DualDisplay);
dualdisplay = (Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.DisplayDualVideo);

I need to select only two checkbox if the user selects single,more than mutiple checkboxes need to display message. Once the button clicked i need to know the checked checkbox values. — Kamal, Feb 23 '12 at 10:54
It's still not clear completely.You want to prevent user from selecting more/less then 2 checkboxes? and also,what do you mean by value of checkbox?its checked state or its text? — Hiral Vadodaria, Feb 23 '12 at 11:03

Its simple:

static int m=0;
dualDisplay.setOnClickListener(new OnCli....{
     onClick()
     {
          if(dualcamera1.isChecked())
              m++; // you can save this as checked somewhere
          if(dualcamera2.isChecked())
              m++; // you can save this as checked somewhere
          if(dualcamera3.isChecked())
              m++; // you can save this as checked somewhere
          if(dualcamera4.isChecked())
              m++; // you can save this as checked somewhere
     }
});
if(m>2 || m<2)
      // show error message
else
      // code here

you can save checkbox's detail if its selected,in if it is checked,in for loop only.

You can call isChecked() on a checkbox to get its status. If you want to count the number of checked checkboxes you could store then in an ArrayList and loop through that.

If CheckBox isn't define in onCreate() method then have to use something like this:

boolean isChecked = ((CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1)).isChecked()

The correct option to get the Checkbox value is using the method:

isChecked() The current checked state of the view

dualcamera1.isChecked()

isEnable() just return True if this view is enabled, false otherwise.

This may help you:

//Returns the enabled status for this view. 
dualcamera1.isEnabled()  //return True if this view is enabled, false otherwise. 

//Indicates whether the view is currently in pressed state.
dualcamera1.isPressed() //return True if this view is enabled, false otherwise.
