so is there any chance of stopping recycling the listview.

Please help me ...

or any alternate solution for my problem.

yourList.getCheckedItemPositions()?

You should use as few objects as possible. That is why invisible items are recycled. And you shouldn't try to change this approach

No you can't do this. ListView holds only views it shows atm. You can cache all list items in you adapter but it's a really bad idea. Just hold checkbox states in some container like array or map.
