@Rishi: `TextView` is not meant to be clicked like `Button` so it won't show this effect by default. You can of course do it yourself. See @Sherif's answer. — Mudassir, Jul 29 '11 at 12:09

setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View arg0, boolean arg1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            arg0.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
        }
});

@Rishi: By focus, are you expecting something like Windows? – Mudassir Jul 29 '11 at 12:08
by focus i mean it will show any user noticeable change it its properties so that one can understand it it getting pressed or got focus.(like the whole text will get any border on getting focus or anything else just to stand it out fron the normal mode) – Rishi Jul 29 '11 at 12:24
