Android setOnCheckedChangeListener calls again when old view comes back

Question

I cannot solve an issue with the getGroupView-method.

the problem is that the listener setOnCheckedChangeListener is getting invoked to many times.

Let say

Answer 1

What version of Android are you using?

It seems to be an issue for multiple components, especially with a checkedChange() method (CheckBox, RadioButton) and I can't provide a good explanation why it is happening.

I would assume because it registers the change of the position state and grabs the change of other properties? A similar issue was addressed here

In any case, a workaround around this could be to add an OnClickListener().

CheckBox yourCheckBox = (CheckBox) findViewById (R.id.yourId);

yourCheckBox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
                //is chkIos checked?
        if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
                         //Case 1
        }
        else 
          //case 2

      }
    });

Answer 2

I faced the same problem and struggled for several hours seeing all discussions related to this. I tried to fix this by keeping viewHolder.checkBox.setTag(groupPosition);
this statement before viewHolder.checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() this listener. And the code works exactly as expected.
