copied!<p>I had exactly the same problem. I haven't found a way how to do this in XML, but I have found a workaround in code. The following code is tested in application that supports API level 7+</p> <p>First, you need to alter the adapter for the <code>ListView</code> a bit:</p> <pre><code>public class ListViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private int selectedItemPosition = -1; // your code public void selectItem(int i) { selectedItemPosition = i; } @Override public View getView(int i, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) { // your code if (i == selectedItemPosition) { // set the desired background color textView.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.highlight)); } else { // set the default (not selected) background color to a transparent color (or any other) textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT); } return view; } } </code></pre> <p>Next you have to inform the adapter that the selection changed in your <code>OnItemClickListener</code>'s <code>onItemClickMethod</code>:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { // select the item ((ListViewAdapter) listview.getAdapter()).selectItem(position); // force redraw of the listview (invalidating just "view" is not enough) ((ListView) parent).invalidateViews(); // your code } </code></pre> <p>That should be it. Now whenever you wan't to change the selected item you can use the same code that is used in <code>onItemClick()</code>, ie. <code>selectItem()</code> followed by <code>invalidateViews()</code>. Instead of calling <code>invalidateViews()</code>, the adapter's <code>notifyDataSetChanged()</code> can also be used.</p> <p>Also you should also add an appropriate listSelector to the list view, to avoid the brief flicker of the default selector when the item is clicked. However there's a bug with list selectors on API 7 and 8 when the background of the whole view is changed. You can find a workaround <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10490435/1096429" title="here">here</a></p>
