Hi, I have a question about list views. I hope someone knows the solution, because I have been trying to solve this problem all weekend.

I have a custom list view in which every row have a custom .xml (item_row.xml) with a set color background for the row item.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="70dip"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:background="@drawable/list_bg">

The problem is that when I try to make a selector for the list. I want two things:

• When the item is focused, the typical orange rectangle should appear over it,
• and the same When the item is pressed.

I have proved with a selector and a custom style but all I get is or the selector doesn't appear or the selector covering the item so I can't see it.

If anyone could help me with finding the right code I would be very grateful.

Thanks
