I performed the same task in one of my app.

What you should do is use an ArrayList having the same size as the list item and each item contains 0 by default . Now in your Efficient Adapter for each checkbox that is checked , assign 1 in that particular position in arrayList . Finally on the button click of delete , traverse through the ArrayList and delete all those item from list which contain 1 in that postion in that ArrayList and atLast call notifyDatasetChanged() method of list so that list get refreshed and shows the new list.

Here is some sample code to give you a better idea over this :

 ArrayList<Integer> checks=new ArrayList<Integer>();

Now in onCreate method

for(int b=0;b<tempTitle.length;b++){
    checks.add(b,0);  //assign 0 by default in each position of ArrayList
        } 

Now in your efficientAdapter's getView method

 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        ViewHolder holder;
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.bookmarks_list_item,
                    null);
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            holder.text1 = (TextView) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.title);
            holder.text2 = (TextView) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.body);
             holder.checkBox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.checkbox);

            convertView.setTag(holder);
        } else {
            holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

           holder.checkBox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                if(((CheckBox)v).isChecked()){
                  checks.set(position, 1);
                }
                else{
                 checks.set(position, 0);
                }

            }
        });


        return convertView;
    }

Finally on delete Button click :

     delete.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

          for(int i=0;i<checks.size();i++){

    if(checks.get(i)==1){
          //remove items from the list here for example from ArryList 
          checks.remove(i);
           //similarly remove other items from the list from that particular postion
           i--;
        }
     }
    ((EfficientAdapter)lv.getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
  }
}

Hope this will solve your issue.

Answer 2

I am assuming i got ids which are selected. now simply arrayList.remove(position); and call notifyDataSetChanged();
