List selector android

Question

I've got two shapes like this:

List_selector_focused.xml

<gradient android:startColor="#f5c98c" android:endColor="#f7ddb8" android:angle="90" /> </shape>

and list_selector_pressed.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"> <gradient android:startColor="#fb9d23" android:endColor="#ffc579" android:angle="90" /> </shape>

and my list_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_pressed" /> <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_focused" /> <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /> </selector>

And to my listview, I add the list_selector.xml

 <ListView android:id="@+id/list" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#000000" android:cacheColorHint="#0A3A5C" android:scrollbars="none" android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector">

But there is no color appearing when i press one of the items in the listview, any suggestions?

EDIT

The list I try to apply this to, is a custom list. The layout for each of the items in the list:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingBottom="10dip" android:paddingLeft="10dip" android:paddingTop="10dip" > <TextView android:id="@+id/idNumber" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="First" android:textColor="#11629F" android:textSize="17sp" android:textStyle="bold" /> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </LinearLayout> <TextView android:id="@+id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/idNumber" android:layout_below="@+id/idNumber" android:text="Second" android:textSize="15sp" /> </RelativeLayout>

What @android:color/transparent, @drawable/list_selector_focused and @drawable/list_selector_pressed contains? — Praveenkumar

@Tobias Moe Thorstensen Try two things. First: set your listiew clickable and longClickable atributes to true and report. Second: Try registering yout listview for contextmenu via registerForContextMenu(). If you have to implement dummy listener. Report your findings. — Anderson

Do your Items have a constant background color? If so, your selector is not going to be displayed, since this selector is set on the back of your item. Make sure your item's background is transparent when selected, in order to have your selector visible.

What items? The items in the list? Where should I specify this?

Iñigo Over a year ago

In the XML of these item, under your layout folder. Or, are you using a resource provided by the Android platform? I am not sure if this is the fix to your problem, but it might be.

Yes, and it has no background color, so the bug has to be anywhere else. Your item views are focusable, aren't they?
