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.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
