Android: disabling highlight on listView click

Question

I want to disable the orange highlight that occurs when touching a listView row. So far in my xml I have tried the following:

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:clickable="false"

More information: I want there to be zero difference when a user touches the screen on this listView object.

Answer 1

The orange highlight effect is a style on the ListView. This article gives a good overview of how to override the listView style.

Essentially, you have a selector that specifies different style elements based on the current state.

Answer 2

add this to your xml:

android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"

and for the problem this may work (im note sure and i dont know if there are better solutions):

you could apply a ColorStateList to your TextView
