ListView supports selecting each group and items in the group like a checkBox selection by customizing the SfListView.GroupHeaderTemplate and the ItemTemplate respectively. The checkbox state will be update by using converter.

The checkBox state in the GroupHeaderTemplate
will be updated whenever items select and deselect by using converter.
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if (value == null)
return value;
GroupResult groupResult = value as GroupResult;
SfListView list = parameter as SfListView;
var items = new List<MusicInfo>(groupResult.Items.ToList<MusicInfo>());
if ((items.All(item => item.IsSelected == false)))
{
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count(); i++)
{
var item = items[i];
(item as MusicInfo).IsSelected = false;
list.SelectedItems.Remove(item);
}
return ImageSource.FromResource("CustomSelection.Images.NotSelected.png");
}
else if ((items.All(item => item.IsSelected == true)))
{
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count(); i++)
{
var item = items[i];
(item as MusicInfo).IsSelected = true;
list.SelectedItems.Add(item);
}
return ImageSource.FromResource("CustomSelection.Images.Selected.png");
}
else
return ImageSource.FromResource("CustomSelection.Images.Intermediate.png");
}
To select and deselect all the items of group by tap the checkbox in the group header, follow the code example.
using Syncfusion.ListView.XForms.Control.Helpers;
private void TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var image = (sender as Image);
var groupResult = image.BindingContext as GroupResult;
if (groupResult == null)
return;
var items = groupResult.Items.ToList<MusicInfo>().ToList();
if ((items.All(listItem => listItem.IsSelected == true)))
{
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count(); i++)
{
var item = items[i];
(item as MusicInfo).IsSelected = false;
}
}
else if ((items.All(listItem => listItem.IsSelected == false)))
{
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count(); i++)
{
var item = items[i];
(item as MusicInfo).IsSelected = true;
}
}
this.RefreshGroupHeader(groupResult);
listView.RefreshView();
}
private void RefreshGroupHeader(GroupResult group)
{
foreach (var item in this.listView.GetVisualContainer().Children)
{
if (item.BindingContext == group)
{
item.BindingContext = null;
(item as GroupHeaderItem).Content.BindingContext = null;
}
}
}
