Android: Disabling Highlight on Listview Click

Android: disabling highlight on listView click

Add this to your xml:

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

And for the problem this may work (I'm not sure and I don't know if there are better solutions):

You could apply a ColorStateList to your TextView.

Android - Disable ListView Selection Highlight but Keep OnClick enabled

Just create a drawable that has a transparent color in it, something like this:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"/>

<!-- Even though these two point to the same resource, have two states so the drawable will invalidate itself when coming out of pressed state. -->
<item android:state_focused="true"  android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_disabled_holo_light" />
<item android:state_focused="true"  android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_disabled_holo_light" />
<item android:state_focused="true"  android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/list_focused_holo" />

</selector>

And then set by code or by XML:

listView.setSelector(R.drawable.my_transparent_selector);

The javadoc for this method says:

Set a Drawable that should be used to highlight the currently selected item.

and the XML attribute is:

android:listSelector

You can play with all the states, remember that you also have the focus state.

Removing the onClick highlight on all items in a ListView

Try this : add this line in your listview xml code android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"

or if you want only change the selected item's backgroung color will change and rest will remain unchanged then add some additional code in your adapter getView method

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    if (convertView == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) convertView.getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
         = inflater.inflate(
                R.layout.your_list_item, null);

    }
if(postion!=SelectedPosition)
  {
   convertView.setBackgroundColor(default Color); // change color as your wish or set transparent
    }
  else
   {
    convertView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(125,75,236,90));// change color as your wish or set transparent
   }

    return convertView;

}

you can add your own logic for changing color . hope it works

How to cancel Android ListView item from being activated/highlighted in ListView's setOnItemClickListener?

I actually encountered the same issue a few days ago. The solution is not to set view.setItemChecked(false), but instead in the .onItemClick()-method, call your listview and set listview.setItemChecked(position, false). This solved it for me.

Example:

listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view,
            int position, long arg3) {

        // load data if no other call to web service is in progress
        if (_isNotLoadingData) {
             loadList2AndList3DataUsingWebService();

        } else {
            ListView lv = (ListView) adapterView;
            lv.setItemChecked(position, false);
        }
    }
});

Android - Keep ListView's item highlighted once one has been clicked

Put a position variable for selected item. Change the position in onItemClicked() method. Check the selected position in List Adapter inside getView() and set the background for the selected item.

public class TestAdapter extends BaseAdapter
{
    private Context context;
    private ArrayList<TestList> testList;
    private int selectedIndex;
    private int selectedColor = Color.parseColor("#1b1b1b");

    public TestAdapter(Context ctx, ArrayList<TestList> testList)
    {
        this.context = ctx;
        this.testList = testList;
        selectedIndex = -1;
    }

    public void setSelectedIndex(int ind)
    {
        selectedIndex = ind;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount()
    {
        return testList.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position)
    {
        return testList.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position)
    {
        return position;
    }

    private class ViewHolder
    {
        TextView tv;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {
        View vi = convertView;
        ViewHolder holder;
        if(convertView == null)
        {
            vi = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.test_list_item, null);
            holder = new ViewHolder();

            holder.tv = (TextView) vi;

            vi.setTag(holder);
        }
        else
        {
            holder = (ViewHolder) vi.getTag();
        }

        if(selectedIndex!= -1 && position == selectedIndex)
        {
            holder.tv.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
        }
        else
        {
            holder.tv.setBackgroundColor(selectedColor);
        }
        holder.tv.setText("" + (position + 1) + " " + testList.get(position).getTestText());

        return vi;
    }

}

Now set the selectedIndex variable when a list item clicked.

public class TestActivity extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener
{
    // Implemented onItemClickListener

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
    {
        adapter.setSelectedIndex(position);
    }
}

Disable highlight in ExpandableListView

Try adding

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

in ExpandableListView xml

Or override the ExpandableListView style.
