CheckBox[] chkArray = new CheckBox[Utstyr.size()];//
for (int i = 0; i < Utstyr.size(); i++) {
    chkArray[i] = new CheckBox(getApplicationContext());
    chkArray[i].setText(""+Utstyr.get(i));
    chkArray[i].setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
    chkArray[i].setTag(""+Utstyr.get(i));
    chkArray[i].setTextAppearance(getBaseContext(), android.R.attr.checkboxStyle);
    checkbox_lay.addView(chkArray[i]);
}
for (int k = 0; k < Utstyr.size(); k++){
    if(chkArray[k].isChecked()){
        //Do something
    }
}

To generate checkbox with in loop,you don't need to set globalize variable.

for (int i = 0; i < Utstyr.size(); i++) {
cb = new CheckBox(getApplicationContext());
......
}

instead of above code you have to initialize like below.

 for (int i = 0; i < Utstyr.size(); i++) {
    CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(getApplicationContext());
    ......
    }

to Get selected check box you have to use following code

int childcount = checkbox_lay.getChildCount();
for (int i=0; i < childcount; i++){
      View v = checkbox_lay.getChildAt(i);

     if(v instanceof Checkbox){

    Checkbox ck=(Checkbox)v;
       boolean isSelected = ch.isChecked(); 
      }

}

Well you need reference to those checkboxes. Creat an array of checkboxes and add it everytime you creat one, and than you can get what you need from them ...
