Using a for loop for a list of check boxes

I was seeing if I could use a for loop so that when a check box is selected all the other check boxes become deselected. It's using an arraylist api so that the array holding the check boxes shrinks or grows depending on the amount of values inside the array.

Are the checkboxes inside items of a ListView? If so, we're about to cover this in the upcoming Android course. The ListView class has a few methods that make it easy to deal with checked items. If you only want to let users select one item at a time,

getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE); API link
