Answer 1

You're using an unbounded ripple, e.g. a ripple with no content or mask layer, so the ripple is projecting onto the background of its parent ListView. You should set a mask layer to constrain the ripple bounds.

res/drawable/my_list_selector.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:color="?attr/colorControlHighlight">
    <item android:id="@android:id/mask">
        <color android:color="@color/white" />
    </item>
</ripple>
