Question

I have a problem with setting the click event in a list view item.

This is how the list is shown in the default situation:

This is how it looks when I press the red image (the red turns to blue):

and this is when I press the list item:

As you can see, the red image turns to blue also, Even though I didn’t pressed the button. What I want is that when I press the list item there is no change to the red image, and it remains the same.

I tried to add android:drawSelectorOnTop="true" to xml file in listview section, but it didn’t work. I also tried to fix it with the selector parameters, still with no success.

I uploaded some code, the next sections are in different xml files, so don’t get confused.

EDIT: I want to use the OS item list background color and not my own color with android:listSelector, because that one I’ve already do.

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

    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/blue" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/red"/> 

</selector>
