Apps List Item is not highlighted upon Selection (ListAdapter used)

[gcc2878]

Hi,
I am trying to create a Dialog with list items in it with the help of List Adapter.

Dialog is working fine.

ISSUE:-
--> Selected list row is NOT Highlighted for whichever list item "TextView.setBackgroundColor" is used
--> Selected list row is Highlighted for whichever list item "TextView.setBackgroundColor" is NOT used

I want all the list items highlighted upon Selection irrespective of background color (i am setting background color as BLACK)


Please suggest on this .............................

I am little confused on this, from what I understand you want all of the items highlighted when selected but your getView only seems to want to highlight those items at the positions you have stated.

Furthermore you will need to trigger the getview when the items are selected and to do this you will need to use a onItemclick method if the listadapter has such a method and when this method is triggered, then you will need to use notifyDataSetChanged() which then refreshes the adapter and will call the getview again.

Although I had issues with using getview I know you can use it. Read my post here :
