Question

Android by default shows green color when tapped to show the tapped state. I want to change that color to some other color, so that when my story in list view is tapped the changed color is shown.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I got a better answer by consulting a seniors and collegues, which says:

1. Make an image of the same height and width as of one cell of our listview of desired color.
2. Put that image in the drawable folder of the project under the path /res/drawable
3. Go to xml file where in which the properties for the listview are set.

4. Add a line of listselector with other properties and set path of list selector to be the image placed recently in drawable folder.

   <ListView 
   android:id="@+id/ListView" 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:listSelector = "@drawable/list_selector">
   </ListView>
   

5. Clean/Build the project and Run.

6. I hope this is the simplest way to carry out this task …this worked for me very fine…Hopefully this works for you as well.
