Answer 1

You can use this way.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
    // If we're running on Honeycomb or newer, then we can use the Theme's
    // selectableItemBackground to ensure that the View has a pressed state
    TypedValue outValue = new TypedValue();
    this.getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.selectableItemBackground, outValue, true);
    textView.setBackgroundResource(outValue.resourceId);
}
