Answer 1

final ListView lView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView01);
lView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, items));
lView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

Here item is an array.

Answer 2

public class myAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter {
    public myAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor cursor, String[] from, int[] to) {
        super(context, layout, cursor, from, to);  
}

@Override   
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
    cb=(CheckBox)view.findViewById(R.id.cb);
    cb.setText(dbgetStringValue);
    cbText=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.cbText);
            cbText.setText(dbgetStringValue);
    cb.setChecked(false);
    cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton cb, boolean isChecked) {            
            if(cb.isChecked()) {                    
                // action
            }
            else if(isChecked==false) {
                // action
            }
        }           
    });
}
} 

is that what you want?
