Question

In my android application i have list view and detail view for each list item. For tablets i have shown list view of items and selected item’s detail view as follows.

So my problem is how can i highlight the selected item after user clicks on list item.

I am using a BaseAdapter to load list view.How can i do this any idea??

EDIT:

Yes as chintan khetiya mentioned i have used following xml file as the background of list item but it will not delighted the selected item. What have i missed?

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item 
 android:state_selected="false"
    android:state_pressed="false" 
    android:drawable="@color/abs__background_holo_light" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" 
    android:drawable="@color/action_bar_blue" />
<item android:state_selected="true"
 android:state_pressed="false" 
    android:drawable="@color/action_bar_blue" />
</selector>

Your Query :

my problem is how can i highlight the selected item after user clicks on list item.

I think you are asking about selector. Mean if the list row in focus state then it should be look different form all other row. Same thing when you press or Touch the Row.

For that you have to make Selector.xml File in Drawable folder and just put that selector file in your list row

That file should have different tag like Focus-Click-Press and change the Drawable as per state.

Update :

Just Replace Your icon and save in Drawable folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <!-- Pressed -->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/p_paly_press" android:state_pressed="true"/>

    <!-- selected -->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/p_play" android:state_selected="true"/>

    <!-- focused -->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/p_paly_press" android:state_focused="true"/>

    <!-- default -->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/p_play"/>

</selector>
