checkbox android listview

Now adding check boxes to a list is really easy. My question is what if we want to add checkboxes to certai开发者_C百科n items in the list. Say I have a filesystem and I wanna give a checkbox only to the files but not the folders.

That is the best way to go about this ? Should I add it as a view and set that row's tags.

Any ideas.

THanks in advanced.

I would add a custom view to the list: The custom view should have a Linear Layout (horizontal) and 2 items: checkbox and textview. If you want to remove the checkbox, change the visibility of the checkbox to GONE on folders (in the getView method of your custom adapter).
