In android, when I press on a TextView, the text changes color (from white to grey). how can I disable that functionality?

I have a TextView that lives inside a LinearLayout. When I call LinearLayout.setSelected(false) the TextView text changes from white to black. Is there a way to set the unselected text color to something else?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to change the background color of an Android TextView widget when the user touches it. I've created a selector for that purpose, which is stored in res/color/selector.xml and roughly looks like that:
CODE:................
The clickable attribute of the TextView is "true", in case that's of interest.
When I assign this selector to a TextView as android:background="@color/selector",
I'm getting the following exception at runtime: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(13130): Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #6: <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
When I change the attribute to drawable, it works, but the result is looking completely wrong because the IDs appear to be interpreted as image references instead of color references (as the "drawable" suggests).
What confuses me is that I can set a color reference, e.g. "@color/black", as the background attribute directly. This is working as expected. Using selectors doesn't work.
I can also use the selector as the textColor without problems.
What's the correct way to apply a background-color-selector to a TextView in Android?
I have a TextView .

Actually, what I want is a textview which can show the progress of something, I know progressbar in android,however,so far as I know, it can not contain any text(am I right?), so, I want to change the background color of the textview to show progress,from left to right gradually.
Is there any other way to do this?
Say for example I have a textview in class A,

I'm currently using something like: TextView.SetBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); in my java code. I'd like to be able to add some transparancy to the textview through the java... This is easy to do in the XML via #AARRGGBB format, but I have not found a way to accomplish this programmatically.

I have an activity with a ListView which is populated through a custom ArrayAdapter. There is an array of objects which have a Boolean property called 'isRead'. Based on the value of this property, I want to set the typeface of one of the TextViews in the row to either 'normal' or 'bold'. I also set the color of the text to either 'gray' or 'black When the Activity initially starts up, everything works as expected. If isRead is true, the text is gray with a normal font. Once I scroll down the list and then scroll up again, the text of an object where isRead is true is colored gray, but the font is bold. Code...

I'm trying to create a game lobby for a project, and I'd like the game's status text to be a different color: red for an "[IN PROGRESS]" game and green for a game that's "[Waiting for x players]". The ListView will be populated with data, and each ListView item will have a game ID and then immediately to the right of that the game's status.
Right now I'm essentially using the Hello ListView code to create my ListView.
(In constructor)
CODE:...........
Then, I have a refresh button that obtains data from our database. It will get two Strings, one for the ID of the game, and the other for the status of the game. If the game status is 0, then it's still waiting for players. If the game status is 1, then the game has started. So, I create a gameItem to add to the gameList:
CODE:.............
This is where I'm stuck. I don't really understand how I can alter the specific TextView when I create the gameItem or when I add that to the gameList. There isn't a way I can see of accessing the TextView's properties. I see how the text of the view is set (through the mapping of the strings to "line1" and "line2", but I don't know how to change any of the properties.
I have a listview with custom rows and that extends SimpleAdapter.
Each row consist of two linear layouts : 1st having two textviews of which one is hidden in horizontal orientation, second having two textviews in horizontal orientation.
Now depending on the value in hidden textview , I want to setcolor for the remaining items for the row.
To put it as simple:
each listview item has some custom colors the value of which comes from the hidden field.
I have done this by overriding getview() for the simpleadapter and returning view for each, but this makes list very slow to render (and that I think is obvious as so much of work for each view before showing it).
Can I do this in some more efficient way ? like making views and then add up to list instead of using xml layout maybe one solution OR any other?

The layout xml is as below. I have a RelativeLayout, which contains a TextView. The OnClick listener is set on RelativeLayout. The RelativeLayout has a selector background. What I want is, when user clicks on the RelativeLayout, the background of the RelativeLayout should change, and the color of the text of the TextView should change too. Even though I set color selector for the TextView, only the selector on RelativeLayout works. The color selector on TextView doesn't work. How can I implement change of both RelativeLayout background and text color of TextView when user clicks the layout?
