I\'m referring to the answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/24475228/72437

The proposed answer is using drawable from Android : ?android:attr/selectableItemBac

Answer 1

I believe you are misunderstanding the question you referred to. The question is how to get the ripple effect:

Where I think you are just looking for click feedback? If so, try setting the background drawable:

  android:background="@drawable/statelist_item_background"

EDIT:

On you background color xml, you need to give it an alpha. It is being drawn in the front, so give it an alpha of .1f and see how that looks and go from there. Try using color 50F76D3C Then use is it in the foreground like you were originally.
