Android: Showing a toast message when the checkbox is checked for the dynamically created checkboxes

When an ImageButton is clicked a checkBox is created dynamically in my app.

The problem I'm facing is with toast messages not showing or let's say the listener I am using for the checkboxes to show a toast message when the checkbox is checked is working only for the current/latest checkbox that has been created. Not for the checkboxes that had been created previously.

Problem,
I saw that the problem could be with the variable (toDoCheckBox) I am using to save the newly created checkbox instance and every time it's getting overriding dynamically as I create newer checkboxes. So for the previous checkboxes, there is no reference pointing to them in order for the listener to work. (the problem could be this or not, i don't know for sure) Even if this is the problem i don't know how to solve it

What i tried is that, creating the instance of checkbox on both onCreate as well as the createCheckBox method so that I could assign the listener in both the places.

  1. on the onCreate()
  2. on the createCheckbox()

Only the latest created checkbox works and shows the toast messages

Can someone help me or guide me with the problem,
I want the toast message to show for every checkboxes

i posted only the code that could be of some use

  private CheckBox toDoCheckBox; 
    private EditText defaultEditText;
    private List<CheckBox> listCheckBoxes;
    private int previousViewId = 0;

 @Override  
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    this.defaultEditText = findViewById(R.id.defaultEditText);
    toDoCheckBox = new CheckBox(this);
    this.listCheckBoxes = new ArrayList<>();

    this.checkBoxListener = new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view){
            if(toDoCheckBox.isChecked()){
                toDoCheckBox.setChecked(true);
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You did a good work, keep it up!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    };
    toDoCheckBox.setOnClickListener(checkBoxListener);
}


public void createCheckBox() {

    //CREATING A CHECKBOX
    toDoCheckBox = new CheckBox(this);
    toDoCheckBox.setText(defaultEditText.getText().toString());
    toDoCheckBox.setTextSize(20);
    toDoCheckBox.setId(View.generateViewId());

    ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams params = (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) defaultEditText.getLayoutParams();

    ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams newParams = new ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(
            ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
    );

    newParams.width = params.width;
    newParams.height = params.height;

    //Constraints
    newParams.startToStart = params.startToStart;
    newParams.endToEnd = params.endToEnd;
    newParams.topToTop = params.topToTop;
    newParams.topToBottom = params.topToBottom;

    //Margins
    newParams.leftMargin = params.leftMargin;
    newParams.topMargin = params.topMargin;
    newParams.bottomMargin = params.bottomMargin;
    newParams.rightMargin = params.rightMargin;

    constraintLayout.addView(toDoCheckBox, -1, newParams);
    previousViewId = toDoCheckBox.getId();
    defaultEditText.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

    createEditText();
    toDoCheckBox.setOnClickListener(checkBoxListener);
    this.listCheckBoxes.add(toDoCheckBox);
    totalCheckBox++;

}
