Android Check Box

A checkbox in Android development is a user interface element that allows users to select one or more items from a list of options. When a checkbox is selected, a checkmark appears in the box, indicating that the item has been chosen.

Check Box Uses
  1. Allow users to select one or more options from a list.
  2. Provide users with an easy way to make a yes or no decision.
  3. Enable users to choose from a limited number of options.
  4. Enable or disable certain features in an app based on user selection.

Example: Here is an example of how to create a checkbox in an Android app:

1. Add the following code to your app's XML layout file:

<CheckBox
    android:id="@+id/my_checkbox"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Select Me" />

2. In your app's Java code, add the following code to handle checkbox clicks:

CheckBox checkBox = findViewById(R.id.my_checkbox);
checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        if (isChecked) {
            // Do something when checkbox is checked
        } else {
            // Do something when checkbox is unchecked
        }
    }
});

This code sets up a listener that detects when the checkbox is checked or unchecked and executes code accordingly.
