Answer 1

Add the below attributes to the check box

 android:focusable="false"
 android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

or add the below to the relative layout an try.

 android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" 

This happens because the checkbox takes focus when you click on the list item. So try the above suggestions
