Android :: Changing Background Color On Selected List View Item
Apr 17, 2009
Im trying to change background color when an item is selected. Something like using a color selector, but actually it crashes. I've created a list_selector.xml inside /res/color/.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><item android:state_focused="true" android:color ="@ color/ plain_yellow"/><item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:color ="@color /plain _yellow" /><item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android: state_active="true" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android:color="@android: color/ transparent" /></selector> plain_yellow is a color i've defined in /res/values. I've tried to assign that selector programatically and using the xml, but the app crashes. Am i doing something wrong?

I'm just beginning Android development, and I'm working to get a Custom list view with a checkbox working. I've created a base class that extends Activity, Created an Adapter and overrode the getView() method to add the checkbox to the list view. I'm assuming I need to do this because I need something equivalent to didSelectRowIndexAtPath from Obj C to update my model. Please let me know if there's an alternate way of doing this too Code...

I have a background color applied to a ListView but everytime the list is scrolled the background color changes back to the system default (black). When the scrolling stops the color goes back to @color/window_background.The style is applied in AndroidManifest.xml:<activity android:name=".event.EventList" android:theme="@style/CKButtons"></activity> and my ListView looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
><ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/android:list"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/android:empty"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="@string/eventlist_no_items"/>
</LinearLayout>How can I prevent this from happening?

This is my first app so finding my way around bit by bit and have been experimenting a little and would like to change the background colour to a colour from a list.Currently it loads a white background specified in strings.xml <color name="all_white">#FFFFFF</color> This is used in main.xml:android: background=" @color/all _white"Ideally I would like to change the colour in OnCreate() to a colour of my choice. I have tried setBackground Drawable but it doesnt seem to work?This is my code:public class TestActivity extends Activity double dimValPercent = 100; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super. onCreate (savedInstance State); setContentView(R.layout.main); SetDimLevel(dimValPercent);SetBackground(); return;}public void SetBackground(){getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable( new ColorDrawable (color.all_blue) );

I have a ListView containing a few different type of items, all having their own background image and font color. In my first implementation I implemented each type of item as its own layout with the background image etc defined in XML (and implemented Adapter.getView() so that it only reuses convertView if it's of the correct type). This works fine but the performance is not that great while scrolling since I'm inflating quite a few Views due to convertView mismatches, so instead I tried using the same layout for all items (to benefit fully from convertView reuse) and changing the background image and font size in runtime. I even keep the three background Drawables I need as members to save time decoding them from a resource for each item, and call View.setBackgroundDrawable() from Adapter.getView(). The problem is, sometimes the 9-patch is not correctly wrapped around the content of the list item when using this approach. While scrolling it usually looks correct but when the scrolling stops, or sometimes when I just tap anywhere on the list, the background 9-patch of some large items starts flickering and is either cropped or resized to its original PNG size rather than stretched to wrap the content.
First of all, I suspect this is a bug? Any ideas why this happens? Could it be that the View is not always measured to reflect the changed content when the 9-patch is applied? I have tried adding an extra call to View.invalidate() but it doesn't solve the problem. Second, does this approach sound reasonable at all, or how should I go about to optimize this scenario?

I am on my first Android application and I am on a timeline so details and examples will be useful since my knowledge is still minimal. I want my first screen to present the user with a list of activities to choose from. In my situation it is a recipe app where the user first chooses the type of food, such as, Beef, Chicken, or Pork. I want the application to launch an activity depending on the list item that the user clicked on. I am not sure if I should use a list view, a text view, a scroll view, a list activity, an activity group...

If you derive a class from ArrayAdapter for the purpose of customizing the views of listview items, and you vary the background color of those items by doing something like this in getView()...

I don't know exactly how to explain this problem, but I'll try. I have a ListView with several items. Each item has inside a TextView and two ImageView. I want the ImageView change when I click on them, and I want to open a context menu when I press for a long time into the ListView item.For the ImageView, everything works properly. For the whole item, I can show the context menu after a long press, but my problem is that the ImageView changes as well when I am pressing the TextView, for example.I hope you understand my problem. I think that all the children of a view are affected by an event in the parent, but I am not sure.

I need some help using ListActivity. The API provides "onListItemClick" which you can override and is called when user selects an item in the list.
However I want the same type of functionality when an item in the list is selected. So as soon as user highlights something in the list I want my application to do something (like play a preview). I dont want to wait for user to select the button.

I have to develop one android application.
Here is the scenario:There are many images in a linearlayout. When selected, the layout should be displayed with another(gradient_bg_hover.xml) background. This works well now.
Now, I would like that when I open a new activity and come back to this one, the last selected layout should still be the highlighted one (with the (gradient_bg_hover.xml) background).
Now i have used below code for highlighting the image when pressed:
[HIGH]
LinearLayout ar = new LinearLayout(this);
ar.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
ar.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
ar.setLayoutParams(artiLayoutParams);
ar.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
ar.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#666666")) ;
[Code]...
In OnClick function i have wrote the below code:
[HIGH]
private OnClickListener mArticleClick = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick ( View v )
{
int object = v.getId();
v.setSelected(true);
[Code]...
Here i have to clicked one item means it is go to next activity.afterthat i have clicked back button means the selected item is stay on highlighted with another background.afterthat i have selected another item means its go to next activity.now i have to click back button means these item only highlight with background....but the pervious item also highlighted....
I wish to need the o/p like :
The last selected item only highlighted after click the back button...
So i have used sharedpreferences :
I have declared int prevPosition = -1; globally...
[HIGH]
ar = new LinearLayout(this);
ar.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
ar.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
ar.setLayoutParams(artiLayoutParams);
ar.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
[Code]...
In Onclick method:
[HIGH]
private OnClickListener mArticleClick = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick ( View v )
{
int object = v.getId();
[Code]...
But my background color is not staying after press the back button...

I'm trying to create a multiple selection list where the selection is represented graphically rather than with checkboxes.My list has checkboxes, but I want them to serve a different purpose. I'm using a cursor to hold my data and created a custom view binder for the SimpleCursorAdapter. I did this for the checkboxes and general flexibility.So far I haven't even been able to show one line as being selected. I've enabled multiple selection on the list and denied the children of the list item focusability. I've tried manually changing background color with the position fed in through the list item click listener. But the wrong items get changed and they don't even change to the right color. I've enabled touch focusability with no improvement either.Ideally, I'd like the trackball highlight focus bar to appear in multiple places. But I don't think this is possible unless you use the drawable directly. But I don't know how to find or apply it. My next idea was to have a slim view bar that changes color. But I had the same problem with the wrong item being selected so I never finished trying to guess the index position to see if this would work. My most recent idea is to completely swap out the view for another one if it's selected. But I have no idea how to do this either. I'm thinking of using an array list to store the _id s of the items that need a different view to get around the wierd selection problem. I'm also thinking of passing in the ID field as my from and the selection view as the to for my adapter. Then I'd intercept it with my binder and change the view accordingly. But once again, I'm not sure how to do this successfuly.

By Default in the Listview,focus will come on the list item.Instead of that, can I get only the border to the list item?I can achieve this by using a transparent image as a list selector.Is there any other simplest way to achieve this requirement?

Somehow when I select icons and menu items now, it's bright red.I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before.Where can I change that back? What was the default color?Even if someone doesn't know the answer, can someone at least select any icon on one of their home screens and tell me what color the background turns.Argh, there's got to be a way to change it.

How can I change background color of ListView items on a pair-item basis. When I use android:backgroundColor in the ListView item layout I can achieve this, however the list selector is no longer visible. I can make the selector visible again by setting drawSelectorOnTop to true but then the selector overlays the whole item.
Any ideas how to change those background colors and keep the selector?
I would rather not change the selector itself.
Authors of GMail application have managed to achieve exactly this so it's definitely possible.

To give the user of my app an indication which field currently has the focus I am trying to change the background color of some of my fields depending on the current state, however, I am having troubles understanding Androids Color State List Resources:
There is this example at the bottom of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html. If I try exactly the same, i.e. if I want to adapt the textColor , things do work. However, if I try an only slightly different thing, namely to adapt the background color, things do not work and I don't understand why? Why is this so inconsistent?
To make it simpler to understand what I am trying to do, I append my misc. .xml files:
The AndroidManifest.xml file:
CODE:.........
If I run this as shown here, it works, i.e. I get a button whose text color changes depending on whether the button is focuses, pressed, etc.
If I uncomment the lower button, where I just flipped the attribute values for textColor and background I get an exception, stating
... <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
What the heck am I missing here? Why is that color state list acceptable as a text color but not as a background color? How does one specify a view's background color depending on the view's state?

I've noticed that changing the background color of an android widget (f.ex. Button or TextView) by program:
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
makes it to loose its 3D shape, border, and shadows effects, and then appears like a ugly flat square. What am I missing?
Sorry for the very naive question but I couldn't get it right although tried for a time.

I am trying to overwrite the default backgroud color of List item which is holding the focus in the ListView. As you can see, in Android Setting Menu, when you scroll through the ListView, the focused ListItem has a red backgroud to highlight its focus. Does any way to change the default behavior by highlighting it with other color or just a bottom red line under this Item.
