Checkbox default value & OnCheckedChangeListener

Question

This is not so much of a problem but I am trying to find a correct way of doing this.

I have the following situation:

public class SettingsDialogFragment extends DialogFragment implements OnCheckedChangeListener {

...

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.settings, container);

    ...

    CheckBox lBox1  = (CheckBox)view.findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);

    lBox1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
    lBox1.setChecked(true);

    return view;
}

@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {

    ....

}

The "problem" I have is that by calling setChecked(true) the onCheckChanged will already fire. I guess that when I inflate the layout - the CheckBox is initialised with a false setting and me changing that to true indeed is a CheckedChanged event.

I could of course change the order and assign the listener after I set the initial value, but is there a way to inflate the layout whilst somehow passing the initial values for the various components? They are dynamic so I cannot fix the values to a particular value in the settings.xml

Cheers

The code of the CheckBox looks something like this:

public void setChecked(boolean checked) {
    if (mChecked != checked) {
        mChecked = checked;
        refreshDrawableState();

        // Avoid infinite recursions if setChecked() is called from a listener
        if (mBroadcasting) {
            return;
        }

        mBroadcasting = true;
        if (mOnCheckedChangeListener != null) {
            mOnCheckedChangeListener.onCheckedChanged(this, mChecked);
        }
        if (mOnCheckedChangeWidgetListener != null) {
            mOnCheckedChangeWidgetListener.onCheckedChanged(this, mChecked);
        }

        mBroadcasting = false;            
    }
}

So basically you cannot use the method without firing events, unless you remove or disable the event handler before (or set them afterwards only).
