import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity  {
    String[] presidents = {
            "XML",
            "HTML",
            "CSS",
            "Java",

    };

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ListView lstView = getListView();
        //lstView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_NONE);
        //lstView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
        lstView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, presidents));
    }

    public void onListItemClick(
            ListView parent, View v, int position, long id)
    {
        Toast.makeText (this,
                "You have selected " + presidents [position],
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}

Note

To programmatically get a reference to the ListView object, you use the getListView() method, which fetches the ListActivity's list view.
