Question

I am using the following selector

text_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

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

    <item android:state_selected="true" android:color="@android:color/white"/>
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:color="@android:color/white"/>
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@android:color/white"/>    
    <item android:color="@android:color/black" />
</selector>

I am using the following code to set the selector at the runtime

txtMainlabel.setTextColor(R.color.text_selector);

Answer 1

put your selector under res/drawable and use

label.setTextColor(getResources().getColorStateList(R.drawable.text_selector));

don’t forget to set android:clickable="true" in the declaration of your TextView in the layout
