Android - setOnCheckedChangeListener for checkbox

Android | CheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener() Method: In this tutorial, we will learn how to work with the setOnCheckedChangeListener method for checkboxes in Android. By Manu Jemini Last updated : June 06, 2023

Android CheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener() Method

While working with setOnCheckedChangeListener method in Android we and implement a listener with each checkbox which give us a callback function for each of them.

setOnCheckedChangeListener is a method in android basically used with checkboxes, radio button etc. You can initiate this method easily like,

Syntax

public void setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton. OnCheckedChangeListener)

While invoking this method a callback function will run. You can also initiate a class for more than one listener, so this can lead you to code reusability.

After making the class you can implement CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener{} method which gives you an override method inherited from superclass called onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked){} in which you can easily implement your code and it also gives you a button view and a Boolean isChecked() method.

Android CheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener() Example

Java file

package com.example.hp.demo;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.CompoundButton;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    CheckBox Product1,Product2,Product3;

    TextView amount;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Product1=(CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.chkp1);
        Product2=(CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.chkp2);
        Product3=(CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.chkp3);

        amount=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.amount);

        Product1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new Chk_class());
        Product2.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new Chk_class());
        Product3.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new Chk_class());
    }
    class Chk_class implements CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener{

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {

            int amt=0;
            if(Product1.isChecked())
            {
                amt=amt+1000;
            }
            if(Product2.isChecked())
            {
                amt=amt+2000;
            }
            if(Product3.isChecked())
            {
                amt=amt+3000;
            }
            amount.setText(amt+"Rs.");
        }
    }
}
