Answer 3

THIS WORKS FOR ME.You have to make custom adapter.

     First Create Modal Class

        public class FilterBean {

         String filter_catagory;
                 boolean isSelected;

            public boolean isSelected() {
                return isSelected;
            }

            public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
                isSelected = selected;
            }

          public String getFilter_catagory() {
                return filter_catagory;
            }

            public void setFilter_catagory(String filter_catagory) {
                this.filter_catagory = filter_catagory;
            }

        }


    In Adapter Class

    @Override
        public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.size_name_indicator, null);
            txt = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.key_textView);
            txt.setText(getItem(position).getFilter_catagory());

            if(getItem(position).isSelected()){
                txt.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.transparent));
            }else {

                txt.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorWhite));
            }


            return convertView;
        }

     public void updateNameBean(String key,boolean checked)
        {

            for(int i=0;i<getCount();i++)
            {
                FilterBean filterBean =  getItem(i);
                if(filterBean.getFilter_catagory().equals(key))
                {
                    filterBean.setSelected(checked);
                }else {
                    filterBean.setSelected(false);
                }
            }
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

In Filter Activity or Fragment

 filter_listView.setAdapter(filterNameAdapter);
               filterNameAdapter.updateNameBean(filterNameAdapter.getItem(0).getFilter_catagory(),true);
        filter_listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
                String key = filterNameAdapter.getItem(position).getFilter_catagory();
                filterNameAdapter.updateNameBean(filterNameAdapter.getItem(position).getFilter_catagory(),true);

            }
        }); 

Answer 4

Create an onItemClickListener then use this snippet, filling in the appropriate values:

listView.performItemClick(View view, int position, long id);

See the docs for further detail.

Answer 5

This works if you want to click it to get additional event handling done:

listView.getAdapter().getView(position, null, null).performClick();

Answer 6

I think this will work as we have given 0 index of array to listView

ListView.setSelection(0);
