java - Custom checkbox class in android -

i needed correlate checkboxes position in list view in checkboxes' onclicklistener. first solution make short custom view extended checkbox had variable (position) set in getview().

    public class listcheckbox extends checkbox {     private int position = -1;     public listcheckbox(context context)    {super(context);}    public listcheckbox(context context, attributeset attrs)    {super(context,attrs);}    public listcheckbox(context context, attributeset attrs, int defstyleattr)    {super(context,attrs,defstyleattr);}     @targetapi(21)     public listcheckbox(context context, attributeset attrs, int defstyleattr, int defstyleres)    {super(context,attrs,defstyleattr,defstyleres);}      public int getposition() {         return position;     }      public void setposition(int position) {         this.position = position;     } } 

it worked, except changed checkboxes' color black, , nothing did (including changing android:buttontint) change it. solution hashmap view key , integer value keeps track of checkboxes' , positions, if has less ugly solution or idea why couldn't change color of checkboxes, appreciated.

you can use method of settag() past variable view,then can use gettag() variable. not need custom checkbox.

//set tag checkbox.settag(position);  //get tag int position = (int)checkbox.gettag();
