List items with alternating colors

Question

I have a list view and an adapter that sets alternating background colors to the list items (\"zebra\" list style):

public View getView(final int position, V         


        

Answer 1

I think the easiest way is to create two selectors which are used as the background resources, with transparent color in the state_selected mode: (res/drawable/alterselector1.xml:)

(res/drawable/alterselector2.xml:)

(res/values/colors.xml:)

    #00ffffff
    #ffffffff
    #ff000000

Then you set the backgrounds in the getView method of the adapter with the setBackgroundResource method:

if (position % 2 == 0){
    reusableView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.alterselector1);
} else {
    reusableView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.alterselector2);
}

Now when you select a row, your background don't hide the original selector behind.
