                v.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FCD5B5"));

                if (!(Vlistselector == null) && Vlistselector != v)
                    Vlistselector.setBackgroundColor(Color
                            .parseColor("#EEEEEE"));
                Vlistselector = v;

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

                holder = new MenuHolder();
                holder.date = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TvVLdate);
                holder.time = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TvVLtime);
                holder.cardno = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TvVLcardno);
                holder.amnt = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.TvVLamnt);

            }

            Menu Menu = data[position];
            holder.date.setText(Menu.date);
            holder.time.setText(Menu.time);
            holder.cardno.setText(Menu.cardno);
            holder.amnt.setText(Menu.amnt);
            holder.tip.setText(Menu.tip);

            return row;
        }

        public class MenuHolder {
            TextView date;
            TextView time;
            TextView cardno;
            TextView amnt;
            TextView tip;
        }
    }
}

What i want is instead of the color darker gray set a new custom color….

    View listColor;//declare this at the top

    Do it onclick of listviewitem

    @Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView list, View view, int position, long id) {

if(listColor!=null){
    listColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
    listColor=view;
}else{
    listColor=view;
}
listColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE); //intead of blue you can change it to something you want like darkergray
//show toast on the clicked item 
String selectedValue = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Toast.makeText(this, selectedValue, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
