Answer 1

First, I would try removing the android:listSelector attribute, as I don't believe it is necessary.

Next, I would double check you have all these steps:

• In your application's theme, try adding

themes.xml

• The drawable should refer to a file containing a selector like (like you have)

activated_background.xml

colors.xml

    #ff0000

• Finally, make sure you are applying the theme in your manifest's application tag using

AndroidManifest.xml

android:theme="@style/Theme.mytheme"
