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.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
