Off the cuff, that should work. Just call startActionMode() when the user clicks the action bar button. > I've tried to reproduce the ActionMode with the following ActionMode > callback started when the user clicks on the button but the items's > selection state isn't reset when the ActionMode is destroyed and they > still appeared checked. Assuming that by "when the ActionMode is destroyed" you mean when the user clicks the Done button, I have seen that same issue and I have not determined yet how to get past it. For cases where you finish() the action mode, you can call clearChoices() in onDestroyActionMode(). However, the Done button does not seem to invoke onDestroyActionMode() in the testing I have done to date. Also, note that you are calling setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE) instead of setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
