Custom ListView not highlighting ListViewItem on click

Question

I have a custom listview made up of an ImageView and a TextView. Clicking works fine however it won't highlight the item like a normal ListView would. How would I add a highlight? I tried to rig it by setting the background color on click and then adding a timer to remove the background color. That worked but I want a better solution. Any ideas?

How did you create your custom ListView? You are probably doing something wrong if that is not working. — Cheryl Simon, Jan 07 '11 at 01:24

Click on your ListView and then in the properties window, set drawSelectorOnTop to true. I just had the same issue and that worked like a charm.

I think you can try to use the colorstate. Define the colors for state_pressed, state_selected and any other appropriate states, then set the background of your view to the colorstate.

Hey be aware that setting the background should use DRAWABLE resource but not COLOR resource. look at [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/3507264/1099884) – Yeung Aug 06 '13 at 04:27
