CheckBox

A checkbox is a specific type of two-states button that can be either checked or unchecked. A example usage of a checkbox inside your activity would be the following:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);

setContentView(R.layout.content_layout_id);

final CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkbox_id);
if (checkBox.isChecked()) {
checkBox.setChecked(false);
}
}
}
