Android Checkbox asking confirmation twice when unchecking

Question

I have a CheckBox in my code and if it's checked, the user shouldn't be able to just uncheck it. This is why I decided to implement an onCheckedChangeListener on the Checkbox.

If it's checked and clicked then confirmation is asked, else no confirmation is asked. When confirmation is asked (through a Dialog) and the user cancels, the checkbox has to remain (or be set again to) checked. So I implemented "CheckBox.setChecked(true)" on clicking the cancel button and now my confirmation is asked twice. I don't know how to get rid of this.

Here's the relevant code:

    mEventAttendingCheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {      
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
            if(isChecked){
                //do nothing
            } else {
                Context mContext = EventSingleViewActivity.this;
                final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);

                dialog.setCancelable(true);

                Button confirmButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.confirmButton);    
                confirmButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { 
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v){ 
                        //do something
                    }
                });


                Button cancelButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.cancelButton);  
                cancelButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { 
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) { 
                        dialog.dismiss();
                        mEventAttendingCheckBox.setChecked(true);
                    }
                });


                dialog.show();

            }
        }
    });

Implement on CLickListener instead of onCheckChanged.. because on CLick is called only when user clicks it ,.. But OnCheckChanged gets called even when you say setChecked() in code...

Use your same code with a boolean flag= false

in your else condition check,

if(flag == false)
 // open dialog
else
 // just uncheck button

set the flag = true in onClick of confirm button first and then uncheck the checkbox. and set the flag = false in onClick of cancel button first and then check the checkbox.
