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.

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
