How to keep a listview item selected after clicking on it

Question

I have an android app which uses a ListView. When I click on any item, there is a light gray color which appears and fades out. How can I make this gray color to remain on the selected item instead of disappearing? Please take a look at the gif which shows the scenario which I want to avoid.

Current Scenario

you can change the background color clicked item when you click on the `onItemClicklistener` — Bhagyashri, Oct 17 '18 at 05:10

Add a boolean variable for item state; suppose "isSelected" in modal class for arraylist passed to listview's adapter. Then onItemClick in getView() update this value accordingly further set background for selected/deselected and notifydatasetchanged(). thats it, you are good to go !! — Jaimin Modi, Oct 17 '18 at 05:18

You can set item Selected according to your need using this method

 listView.setSelection(0);
 listView.getSelectedView().setSelected(true);

OR

 listView.setItemChecked(0, true)

First of all you need to change background color on clicked.

take reference from here

And then add this line inside your listview's OnItemClickListener

listView.setSelection(int position);
