Android: disabling highlight on listView click


I want to disable the orange highlight that occurs when touching a listView row. So far in my xml I have tried the following:




android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:clickable="false"



More information: I want there to be zero difference when a user touches the screen on this listView object.

  1. The orange highlight effect is a style on the ListView. This article gives a good overview of how to override the listView style.

    Essentially, you have a selector that specifies different style elements based on the current state.

  2. from http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/03c92af7b519d290?pli=1

    when you set your ListAdapter use the following code

    ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(MyList, Layout, c,
    new String[] { "Name", "Score" }, to)
    {
    public boolean areAllItemsEnabled()
    {
    return false;
    }
    public boolean isEnabled(int position)
    {
    return false;
    }
    };


    This will override the BaseAdapter class. It also cancels the white border between cells.

  3. add this to your xml:

    android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"


    and for the problem this may work (im note sure and i dont know if there are better solutions):

    you could apply a ColorStateList to your TextView

  5. After a few 'google'ing and testing on virtual and real devices, I notice my below code works:

    ArrayAdapter<String> myList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, strText) {
    public boolean isEnabled(int position)
    {
    return false;
    }
    };


    notice that I've omitted the areAllItemsEnabled() portion.

  6. For me android:focusableInTouchMode="true" is the way to go. android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent" is of no use. Note that I am using a custom listview with a number of objects in each row.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
