Question

Following is my source code,

I also tried isPressed , isClicked , but it still doesn’t work.

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    if (convertView == null) {
        // This a new view we inflate the new layout
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_item_layout, parent, false);
    }
    MyItem myItem = getItem(position);


    TextView direction = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.direction);
    direction.setText(myItem .getDirection());

    if(convertView.isSelected()){
        convertView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.list_select_bar);
        setTextColor(convertView, textIDs , R.color.white);
    }else{
        convertView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.light_white);
        setTextColor(convertView, textIDs , R.color.black);
    }

    return convertView;
}

Actually , if I remove the convertView check block, I just need to register an onItemClickListener onto the listview… but if I do this , seems makes getView method meaningless. I am so struggled with this issue.

First , I appreciate that Sam gave me such a useful tip.
Following is my resolve procedure.

Write a selector file and below is its content. then put this list_background.xml into drawable folder

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/list_select_bar" android:state_pressed="true"/><!--pressed -->
<item android:drawable="@color/light_white"/><!-- default --></selector>

then in your item layout xml , using list_background like this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

…
android:background=”@drawable/list_background”
…
>

That’s it. No click listener or other method invoked in the source code.
