How To Create CheckBox in Android Studio
Hello Guys.
Hi, in this video, I'll demonstrate how to work with CheckBox in Android. I'll show you step-by-step, how to design an XML layout that consists of few CheckBoxes and two other normal buttons to clear the selection and to show Toast message based on which CheckBoxes are currently selected. You'll also learn how to handle the onClick event as well as onCheckedChanged event on CheckBox. Let's get started.
What is CheckBox?
Android CheckBox is a two-state button that can be either checked or unchecked, like an ON/OFF switch and it allows the user to toggle between the two states. Generally, we can use multiple CheckBoxes in an android app to allow the user to select one or more options from a set that is not mutually exclusive. So, unlike RadioButtons where your selection automatically deselects all other radio buttons in the RadioGroup, in the case of multiple CheckBoxes, if you select one, it doesn't deselect others. In android, there is a lot of usage of a checkbox. For example, it can be used to take a survey on expertise or skillset, where we can list a few options and allow the user to choose using CheckBox.
