Question

Is it possible to apply a custom background to each Listview item via the list selector?

The default selector specifies @android:color/transparent for t

Answer 1

I always use the same method and it works every time, every where: I simply use a selector like this

and set on the ListView (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE IT WORKING) the attribute

android:choiceMode="singleChoice"

for the textColor just put in the color folder(IMPORTANT, not drawable folder!) a selector like this

this a sample row template

everything showld work without tedious workarounds. hope this help
