How to get checked checkbox count from adapter?

I have a ListView in the middle of my app and i have added a transparent RelativeLayout on the bottom that holds a TextView and a button. In the ListView there is a checkbox for each row. My problem is that i want to populate the TextView with the amount of checked item in the list as an item is clicked. Is there a way to do that? this is my layout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >
    <TextView
        android:text="@string/compare_information"
        android:textColor="#8F8F8F"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/informationText" />
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/lvCompare"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:divider="@null"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/informationText">

    </ListView>
    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="75dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="#90303030" >
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/checkedItems"
            android:text="0 of 10"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textColor="#EEEEEE"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
            />
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/compare"
            android:background="@drawable/filter_button_layout"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
            android:text="@string/compare"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:textSize="18sp"
            />
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

This is my adapter:

    public class CompareListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Restaurant>{
        private ArrayList<Restaurant> list = new ArrayList<Restaurant>();
        private Context context;
        private static int checkBoxCounter = 0;
        private static int checkBoxInitialized = 0;
        private int layoutResourceId;
        private TextView cCheckedItems;
        private final String INFORMATION_TEXT = "Select six companies to compare";

        public CompareListAdapter(Context context, int resource,
                List<Restaurant> objects,TextView textViewToEdit ) {
            super(context, resource, objects);
            this.context = context;
            this.layoutResourceId = resource;
            checkBoxCounter = 0;
            cCheckedItems = textViewToEdit;
            // We put the strings from the array in to the hash map for storing
            for (int i = 0; i < objects.size(); ++i) {
                list.add(objects.get(i));
            }
        }

            ImageView openImage;


        }
    }

Update : Got it working. Added what i have now working on my IDE. I made a TextView requirement in the constructor and saved that TextView in the adapter then called it when i need it. Log set up for testing if TextView exists. Thanks to @SagarPilkhwal for guiding to the solution.
