Try the following:

1. Add one checkbox on top of listview in your activity layout. For example a checkbox with id chkall.

2. Add one boolean flag called checkedAll in your adapter class InviteListAdapter2 with getter & setter.

3. Create to add/remove from database as follow:

   public void modifyFriends(List<FriendItem> fList, boolean checkedAll){
       String checkStatus = "0";   
       if(checkedAll){
           checkStatus = "1";
       }
       //sql code to change check status in database for all friends
   }
   

4. Change getView() your adapter code little bit as follow:

   if(item.isChecked() || checkedAll)
       {
           holder.checkBox.setChecked(true);
   
           if(item.getId().equals(Sessions.getUserId(context)))
           {
               hView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selector_list_gray);
           }
           else
           {
               hView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selector_list_green);
           }
       }
       else
       {
           holder.checkBox.setChecked(false);
           hView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selector_list);
       }
   

5. On click of chkall checkbox, do following:

       if(checked){
           inviteListAdapter2.setCheckedAll(true);
           modifyFriends(friendsList, true); //call a db helper method to change reflect check status in db
       }else{
           inviteListAdapter2.setCheckedAll(false);
           modifyFriends(friendsList, false); //call a db helper method to change reflect check status in db
       }
       inviteListAdapter2.notifyDatasetChaged();
