Android: Disable highlighting in GridView

Question

How can I turn off the orange highlight when clicking an item in a GridView?

I haven't been able to find a solution in the documentation or through testing.

Answer 1

Use android:listSelector="#00000000" in your GridView element in your XML layout file.

Answer 2

Another option is to reference the transparent color via @android:color/transparent

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:id="@+id/grid"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"
/>

Answer 3

I did the same thing in code using

GridView.setSelector(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));

Answer 4

Add this property to gridview

android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"

Answer 5

<GridView
            android:id="@+id/gridView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
            android:listSelector="#00000000"
            android:numColumns="3"
            android:scrollbars="none"
            android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
            android:verticalSpacing="10dp" />

Done! this is a solution. thank you :)
