The solution by dglmtn doesn't work when you have a 9-patch drawable with padding as background. Strange things happen, I don't even want to talk about it, if you have such a problem, you know them.
Now, If you want to have a listview with different states and 9-patch drawables (it would work with any drawables and colors, I think) you have to do 2 things:
- Set the selector for the items in the list.
- Get rid of the default selector for the list.
What you should do is first set the row_selector.xml:
< selector xmlns:android ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
< item android:state_enabled ="true"
android:state_pressed ="true" android:drawable ="@drawable/list_item_bg_pressed" />
< item android:state_enabled ="true"
android:state_focused ="true" android:drawable ="@drawable/list_item_bg_focused" />
< item android:state_enabled ="true"
android:state_selected ="true" android:drawable ="@drawable/list_item_bg_focused" />
< item
android:drawable ="@drawable/list_item_bg_normal" />
</ selector >
Don't forget the android:state_selected
. It works like android:state_focused
for the list, but it's applied for the list item.
Now apply the selector to the items (row.xml):
< RelativeLayout xmlns:android ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width ="fill_parent"
android:layout_height ="wrap_content"
android:orientation ="horizontal"
android:background ="@drawable/row_selector"
>
...
</ RelativeLayout >
< selector xmlns:android ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
< item android:state_enabled ="true"
android:state_pressed ="true" android:drawable ="@color/android:transparent" />
< item android:state_enabled ="true"
android:state_focused ="true" android:drawable ="@color/android:transparent" />
< item
android:drawable ="@color/android:transparent" />
</ selector >
Notice that it makes all the states transparent. That's what I meant by getting rid of the default states.
Last, but not least - apply the selector to the listview:
android:id ="@+id/android:list"
...
android:listSelector ="@drawable/list_selector"
/>
