Question

So I have ListView with the Single Choice mode enable. I have a selector for the background of the list item and it changes correctly to the activated state.

Using .setSelected() doesn’t.

Even if I get the view for that list item and set its state to activated it still doesn’t work.

So far this is the best solution I have come up with but the setActivated isn’t working basically I have duplicated the code of the onItemClickListener but added setActivate().

InformationListAdapter adapter = new InformationListAdapter(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), info.infoSections);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);  
View v=adapter.getView(0, null, null);
v.setActivated(true);

InformationSection item = (InformationSection)lv.getItemAtPosition(0);
InformationWebFragment webFrag = (InformationWebFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.InfoWebFragment);
webFrag.updateDisplay(item);

Answer 1

If you have access to the View which I suppose the line: View v=adapter.getView(0, null, null); gives you – then you can do this:

v.performClick();

That will fire the onClick-event and run the onClickListener for the specific View.

Edit

As we discovered in our discussion below one should call:

listView.performItemClick(View view, int position, long id);
