Sencha Touch Cookbook

Checkbox and Checkbox group

Checkboxes permit the user to make multiple selections from a number of available options. It is a convenient way to learn about user choices. For example, in an application, we may have a checkbox asking the user if he/she stayed in Hyderabad. Moreover, if we are capturing the detail about multiple cities where the user had stayed, then we would group multiple checkboxes under one name and use them as a checkbox group. In this recipe, we will see how we can create a checkbox and a checkbox group using Sencha Touch and how to handle the values when you want to set them, or when the form data is posted.
