Answer 1

Try this sample code

public class MyListPage extends ListActivity {


/** Called when the activity is first created. */

public void onCreate(Bundle savein) {
    super.onCreate(savein);
    // Create an array of Strings, that will be put to our ListActivity  

    String[] options=getResources().getStringArray(R.array.options);

    ListView listView = getListView();
    listview.setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,
            android.R.id.text1, options)); 
     listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
}
}
