Android: Entire ListView changes color on focus, not just ListView child item

Question

I am trying to apply a selector to a ListView to make it easy for those without touch screens to navigate my app. The thing is, by applying the selector to the ListView, it only seems to apply the background colors to the entire list, not the items inside of it.

Any ideas? Here's some code:

    <ListView
   android:id="@android:id/list"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:listSelector="@drawable/listselector"
   />

   <TextView android:id="@android:id/empty"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="There are no Clients yet."
        />

listselector.xml in drawable folder:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
    android:id="@+id/myselector"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
    <!-- Non focused states -->
    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_selected="false"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@color/darkblue" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@color/green" />

    <!-- Focused states -->
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_selected="false"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@color/green" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@color/green" />

    <!-- Pressed -->
    <item
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@color/green" />
</selector>
