    copied!<p>So I have an activity with 2 <code>ListView</code> widgets, when you select a value in the first one, the second is populated with values related to the selection in the first <code>ListView</code>. This mechanic works without a problem, but now I want the user choices to stay highlighted. I've read a good ammount of question related to this topic and it seems there is a myriad of ways one can accomplish this but after trying about 4-5 of em' I still can't get it to work.</p> <p>I've got it working on the second <code>ListView</code> using the <code>android:listSelector="#CCCCCC"</code> XML Attribute, but this seems to be wiped clean once a <code>OnItemClickListener</code> is introduced into the mix (like the one I use on my first <code>ListView</code>).</p> <p><strong>So far here's what I've got:</strong></p> <p>Custom <code>OnItemClickListener</code> I found browsing various answer regarding this topic (slightly modified it in order for it to load my info the second ListView): </p> <pre><code>private class ItemHighlighterListener implements OnItemClickListener { private View oldSelection = null; public void clearSelection() { if(oldSelection != null) { oldSelection.setBackgroundColor(android.R.color.transparent); } } public void onItemClick(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; parent, View view, int pos, long id) { clearSelection(); oldSelection = view; view.setBackgroundDrawable(view.getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.list_selector)); loadClubs(mXMLPortalOptions.getRegion(pos).getId()); mClubList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.list_item_white, mClubs)); } } </code></pre> <p>Here's my <code>list_selector.xml</code> file : </p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt; &lt;item android:state_selected="true"&gt;&lt;shape&gt; &lt;solid android:color="#CCCCCC" /&gt; &lt;/shape&gt;&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item android:state_selected="false"&gt;&lt;shape&gt; &lt;solid android:color="#FFFFFF" /&gt; &lt;/shape&gt;&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/selector&gt; </code></pre> <p>The method (OnItemClick) is called and executed, but the background of my <code>ListItem</code> stays the same color :/</p> <p>I can't believe that this simple task has proven so complicated.</p> <p>If I have omitted code that could be useful or if my question is lacking details, feel free to point that out and I'll do my best to explain myself.</p>
