It s a simplifications but very easy    You need to add the the focusable flag to the checkbox  as written before  You need also to add the clickable flag  as shown here   android focusable  false  android clickable  false    Than you control the checkbox state from within the ListView  ListFragment in my case  onListItemClick event   This the sample onListItemClick method   public void onListItemClick ListView l  View v  int position  long id    super onListItemClick l  v  position  id     Get related checkbox and change flag status   CheckBox cb    CheckBox v findViewById R id rowDone   cb setChecked  cb isChecked     Toast makeText getActivity     Click item   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show

You have to add an OnItemClickListener to the listview to determine which item was clicked  then find the checkbox   mListView setOnItemClickListener new OnItemClickListener          Override     public void onItemClick AdapterView lt   gt  parent  View v  int position  long id                CheckBox cb    CheckBox  v findViewById R id checkbox id
