Android how to use checkedtextview

Question

the title speaks for itself. I am over several articles, topics and still haven't figured out how to use checkedtextview. I want a listview with checkable items. In the following code i am using a listview and populating it with a string array. But how to change it to checkedtextview?

delete.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:paddingTop="4dip"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:orientation="horizontal"
     android:id="@+id/linlay0"
     android:background="@color/list_bg">
  <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/TextView00"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#D8D8D8"
        android:textColor="#424242"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
        android:textSize="20px"
        android:height="40px"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        />
     <ListView android:id="@+id/ListView01"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

delete_lv.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/list_content"
android:textColor="#222222"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="sample"
android:layout_margin="4dip"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

</LinearLayout>

Delete.java:

public class Delete extends Activity {

    ListView lv1;
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter1;
    private String lv_items[] = { "Android", "iPhone", "BlackBerry",
                 "AndroidPeople", "J2ME", "Listview", "ArrayAdapter", "ListItem",
                 "Us", "UK", "India" };

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.delete);

TextView tv0 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView00);
tv0.setText("Deletes");

lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView01);
adapter1 = new ArrayAdapter<String>(Delete.this,R.layout.list_black_text,R.id.list_content, lv_items);
lv1.setAdapter(adapter1);
adapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();

}
}

In your xml file you're using textview as list item. Instead of that use CheckedTextView. You can directly drag and drop that from your widgets palette. You can use the CheckedTextView as both TextView and CheckBox. Below is an example if how to use it

   <CheckedTextView 
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     
      style="@style/NormalText"  
      android:id="@+id/checkList" 
      android:paddingLeft="20dip" 
      android:paddingRight="20dip" 
      android:paddingTop="10dip"
      android:paddingBottom="10dip" 
      android:orientation="vertical" 
      android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
      android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"  
      android:gravity="center_vertical"  
      android:checkMark="@drawable/our_checkbox"></CheckedTextView>
