For removing selected items, you can call directly removeAllSelectedItems(), so you don’t need to call remove one by one. If you use the new UndoHelper you will need to pass the positions, too. Having the undo enabled it gives you access to the getDeletedItems().

When removing items from your original list / DB, you might have to do some additional operations, and you probably want to cast to your object (CustomObj) mAdapter.getItem(position) (if the generic was set with abstract type) when you cycle getSelectedPositions(). Finally, if I create a cycle for getting items from positions, you then probably will cycle again the list. So I won’t create getSelectedItems.

Oops, I was looking for a *Items method and totally overlooked the updateDataSet method (probably because it had a different meaning in 0.4.2). Sorry for not investigating enough.

For getSelectedItems, I’m doing that. When multiple items are going to be deleted in multi selection mode, I map the positions to the items, and call a method in my presenter to delete those objects passed as parameter.

About my issue, I’ll try to give it some more thought before adding further noise here.

Thanks!
