Answer 1

Did you call listView.setItemsCanFocus(true)?

Answer 2

I have successfully implemented your requirement by setting focusable to false.

<CheckBox
            android:id="@+id/checkBox"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:focusable="false"
            />

Try it.
