    <p>I have a listview, where I want to highlight selected items in a custom way. I'm setting every item properties in the adapter's <code>getView</code> method, including <code>itemView.setSelected(true)</code>.</p> <p>The main layout defines the listview in the following way:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ListView android:id="@+id/list" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:choiceMode="multipleChoice" android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>(Playing with choice mode does not help either).</p> <p>The <strong>list_selector</strong> is an almost empty stub:</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:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /&gt; &lt;/selector&gt; </code></pre> <p>I don't need specific styles for listview as a whole, so I'd leave a default one, but according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10501314/1102014">this answer</a>, we need a selector for a listview for item selector to work. Anyway, without the <strong>list_selector</strong> the problem remains.</p> <p>The listview item layout:</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" android:background="@drawable/listitem_background" android:orientation="vertical"&gt; </code></pre> <p>and it references the following <strong>listitem_background</strong> selector:</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" android:drawable="@android:color/white" /&gt; &lt;item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /&gt; &lt;/selector&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem is, that selected items do not have white background.</p> <p>If I change <code>android:state_selected="true"</code> selector in the <strong>listitem_background</strong> to, for example, <code>android:state_pressed="true"</code>, then the selector starts to work, that is item background becomes white if an item is touched.</p> <p>So, I suppose, there is an error either in the selectors, or in the way how I select items.</p> <p>I can write a workaround by setting background from Java or utilizing checkable states, but I want to understand and fix current problem with selectors. Thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
