Changing background color of ListView items on Android

by

You have to create a different state drawable for each color you want to use.

For example: list_selector_read.xml and list_selector_unread.xml.

All you need to do is set everything to transparent except the android:state_window_focused="false" item.

Then when you are drawing your list you call setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.list_selector_unread/read) for each row.

You don’t set a listSelector on the ListView at all. That will maintain the default selector for your particular flavor of Android.
