Problem with selector for a ListView in Android.

Question

Hi,

I have created a ListView and applied a selector to it as follows

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
<item android:state_pressed="true"
    android:drawable="@drawable/my_btn_pressed" />         
<item android:state_focused="true"
    android:drawable="@drawable/my_btn_focussed" /> 
<item android:drawable="@drawable/my_btn_normal" />      
</selector>

When focussed or pressed, the background of the ListView item comes as specified in the selector. But the default background is never applied, can you tell me what is wrong?

By the way, this is the customised row xml I've used:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dip"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textSize="20sp" >
</TextView>

Thanks, Kiki

Try using this code:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
   <item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="false" android:drawable="@drawable/my_btn_pressed" />         
   <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/my_btn_focussed" /> 
   <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/my_btn_normal" />      
</selector>
