I am working on an android application. I have created a listview by using
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_i
Well using this in the properties of your list view mught help:
android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector"
It will automatically set the selected drawable as background of the selected item. Hope this works for you and drawable may be your own choice's color.
Explanation: Add an image strip to your drawables folder/s and set that image in listSelector attribute of the your list view. Now you will navigate through your list view, the list view's background will be of the color of the image strip you set instead of android's native color. Hope you get it now...:-)
