title: Contextual ActionBar to multiselect items in a custom ListView in Android
body: <p>How do you implement a contextual action bar for a custom list view to select multiple list items? </p>
  
  <p>I want my application to be similar to the <strong>Contacts application in Samsung Mobiles</strong>. </p>
  
  <p>When scrolling through the <strong>Contacts List</strong>, clicking <code>Menu -&gt; Delete</code> adds checkboxes to each list item and a temporary overlay appears over the actionbar. </p>
  
  <p>Could someone help with some pointers on where to begin with this?</p>
  
  <p>As I'm using custom list using custom layout and adapter, there is no scope to use <code>listview.setChoiceMode();</code></p>
