Question

What is the quickest way to set your list view items so that when you click on them they flash to a different state to let the user know they clicked on it? Something like a quick image change, color change, border color, etc.

Answer 1

Here is how you create a selector for the listview using colors..

<?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/grey" />

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

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

</selector>
