Android: disabling highlight on listView click
Add this to your xml:
android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"And for the problem this may work (I'm not sure and I don't know if there are better solutions):
You could apply a ColorStateList to your TextView.
RoflcoptrException's answer should do the trick,but for some reason it did not work for me, So I am posting the solution which worked for me, hope it helps someone
<ListView android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent" android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent"/>
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.
