Checklist in beamer using enumitem package

Question

I am working with beamer and wanna make a slide including a check list . What I wanna do is exactly like in this link: How to create checkbox todo list?. but in beamer instead.

I know that enumitem and beamer are not compatible and I have changed my codes according to this: Does enumitem conflict with beamer for lists?

However, the \only command seems not to work within the itemize environment when enumitem package is used.

Here is my example code, which is not working:

\documentclass{beamer}    
\usepackage{enumitem,amssymb}
\setitemize{label=\usebeamerfont*{itemize item}
\usebeamercolor[fg]{itemize item}
\usebeamertemplate{itemize item}}
\newlist{checklist}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[checklist]{label=$\square$}
\usepackage{pifont}
\newcommand{\cmark}{\ding{51}}%
\newcommand{\xmark}{\ding{55}}%
\newcommand{\done}{\rlap{$\square$}{\raisebox{2pt} {\large\hspace{1pt}\cmark}}\hspace{-2.5pt}}
\newcommand{\wontfix}{\rlap{$\square$}{\large\hspace{1pt}\xmark}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[t]{My check list} 
\begin{itemize}
    \only<1->{\item Item 1}
    \only<2->{\item Item 2}
    \begin{checklist}
    \only<3->{\item [\done]checklist 21}
    \only<4->{\item [\wontfix]checklist 22}
    \only<5->{\item [\wontfix]checklist 23}
    \end{checklist}
    \only<6->{\item Item 3}
    \begin{checklist}
    \only<7->{\item[\done]checklist 31}
    \only<8->{\item[\wontfix]checklist 32}
    \end{checklist}
    \only<9->{\item Item 4}
    \begin{checklist}
    \only<10->{\item[\done]checklist 41}
    \only<11->{\item [\wontfix]checklist 42}
    \end{checklist} 
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Please see the attached file for imagination and note that the items will show up one by one

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks a ton!

Answer 1

Just use the classic itemize environment. Together with the symbols from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/313337/36296 this gives:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{pifont}

\newcommand{\cmark}{\ding{51}}%
\newcommand{\xmark}{\ding{55}}%
\newcommand{\done}{\rlap{$\square$}{\raisebox{2pt}{\large\hspace{1pt}\cmark}}%
    \hspace{-2.5pt}}
\newcommand{\wontfix}{\rlap{$\square$}{\large\hspace{1pt}\xmark}}


\begin{document}

    \begin{frame}
        \begin{itemize}[<+->]
            \item bla

            \begin{itemize}[<+->]
                \item[\done] blub
                \item[\wontfix] bla
            \end{itemize}

            \item blub
        \end{itemize}
    \end{frame} 

\end{document}

I know it is late but I have a more simple solution. You can use itemize with font awesome package \usepackage{fontawesome} without any new environment or new commands environment. The good point also you have thousands of icons you can add it without any new commands check the documentation from here awsomefont

Simple

    \begin{itemize}
        \item [\faCheckSquareO] Maintainable.
        \item [\faCheckSquareO] Reusable.
        \item [\faCheckSquareO] Well-Performed.
        \item [\faCheckSquareO] Reliable.
        \item [\faCheckSquareO] Resilient.
        \item [\close`] Secure.
    \end{itemize}

Some alternatives using bbding, wasysym or nothing:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{bbding}
\let\oldSquare\Square % defined also in wasysym
\usepackage{wasysym}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item[$\boxtimes$] none  
\item[$\square$] none \bigskip
\item[\fboxsep0pt\fbox{$\times$}] none
\item[\fboxsep0pt\fbox{$\phantom{\times}$}] none \bigskip
\item[\CheckedBox] wasysym
\item[$\XBox$]  wasysym 
\item[\Square] \texttt{wasysym (\textbackslash Square)}  \bigskip
\item[\oldSquare]  \texttt{bbding (also \textbackslash Square)} 
\item[\rlap{\Checkmark}\oldSquare]  \texttt{bbding} 
\item[\rlap{\XSolidBrush}\oldSquare]  \texttt{bbding} 
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
