11This sample demonstrates how to create custom single- or multi-choice [ListView][1] UIs on Android.
12
13When a ListView has a `android:choiceMode` attribute set, it will allow users to "choose" one or more items. For
14exmaple, refer to `res/layout/sample_main.xml` in this project:
15
16```xml
17<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
18    android:layout_width="match_parent"
19    android:layout_height="0dp"
20    android:layout_weight="1"
21    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/page_margin"
22    android:paddingRight="@dimen/page_margin"
23    android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
24    android:choiceMode="multipleChoice" />
25```
26
27The framework provides these default list item layouts that show standard radio buttons or check boxes next to a single
28line of text:
29
30- android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice
31- android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice.
32
33In some cases, you may want to customize this layout. When doing so, the root view must implement the Checkable
34interface. For an example, see this sample's `CheckableLinearLayout` class.
35
36Lastly, remember to use padding on your ListViews to adhere to the standard metrics described in the Android Design
37guidelines. When doing so, you should set the `android:scrollbarStyle` attribute such that the scrollbar doesn't inset.
