Disable Android ListView selector

Question

I am trying to disable the ListView selector on my ListView. I set the List Selector color to a transparent color. This seems to do the trick, but when I select certain text, they change colors. How can I make things work ok?

Answer 1

It's not the best solution, but for me it worked:

You can set the text color manually (in xml or at runtime)

Answer 2

In your XML where you declare the ListView use:

<ListView android:id="@+id/my_list" android:listSelector="#00000000" />

This should be marked as the answer since it shows clearly WHAT needs to be set in order to modify the list selector. – Resist

yes agreed, this appears to be a bug in android i was using @null which does not work, this does. – Swoon

Perhaps android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent" would me more readable – Spermogonium
