android badgeview listview,listview - Android: set list view item as "selected" (highlighted) - Stac...

In my application I want to do something similar to gmail app on tablets, in the left to have the list of items and in the right to have a fragment with the content of that item, like for gmail app this content is being downloaded after selection. After I click on an item I want it to remain highlighted until, of course I change the selection.

I reached a point where this works but only if I click twice on the same item, so first I click, selection works and then the item goes back to its 'default' state and if I click again on it, the selector (for selected state) is visible.

This is what I have so far:

1) The selector (listitem_background.xml)

2) For the top linear layout of the list item:

android:background="@drawable/listitem_background"

(I tried setting this as listselector, as well)

3) This is the ListView:

android:id="@+id/my_list_view"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:choiceMode="singleChoice"

android:dividerHeight="1dp"

android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"

android:fadeScrollbars="true"

android:fastScrollEnabled="true"

android:focusable="true"

android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

android:scrollbarFadeDuration="100"

android:scrollbars="vertical" />

4) In the code part I tried to play with this:

@Override

public void onItemClick(AdapterView> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

view.setSelected(true);

...

}

[EDIT] In fact I've noticed that the selection is lost after the commit of the fragment in the right side of the screen. If I don't commit the fragment it works like a charm...

I think I need something like this in the selector:

But obviously not this...
