Multi select listview not working with more than one component inside list item

Question

I have a CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL enabled ListView. It is working perfectly fine, on long press the list item is getting selected when there is only one TextView enclosed within a RelativeLayout in the List item XML.

But When I am adding a checkbox to the item XML then I am not able to select the list item with a long click. Any help will be much appreciated.

Working list item XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/list_item_selector">

    <TextView
        android:text="TextView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/todoNoteTitle"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:paddingTop="20dp"
        android:paddingBottom="20dp"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

Non working list item XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/list_item_selector">

    <TextView
        android:text="TextView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/todoNoteTitle"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:paddingTop="20dp"
        android:paddingBottom="20dp"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp" />
    <CheckBox
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/checkboxTodo"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:paddingTop="20dp"
        android:paddingBottom="20dp"
        android:paddingRight="20dp"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Any Clue?

Do this:

your_text_view.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
            //Check or uncheck the CheckBox.
            if (!your_check_box.isCheck())
               your_check_box.setChecked(true);
            else your_check_box.setChecked(false);

            return false;
        }
});

Listen to a long press (long click here) and on long press event set the current check box or uncheck it. This should resolve the issue.
