Can the current colour of a listview item be changed in code?

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

If a user taps an item in a listview, is it possible to display the list item the user tapped in a different colour?

I would like to do that because my app has a listview on the left side of the screen and a tabhost view that allows the user to see several pages of details but it's difficult to know which details are being viewed because the default behaviour of the listview does not show the current selection.

Thanks.

Typically ListView items all have the same colour. There is a workaround possible - see here : http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/12634-scrollview-performance.html#post71217

but I'm not sure that it will work for your scenario, but may well do.. but will require recreating the list...

or use ScrollViewList, in which it is definitely possible, but then it's more of a manual process to create and manage the Lists...

Hi eps,

For now I think instead of changing it to use a scrollview, I'll just change the title of the activity to indicate which item was selected in the list when the user clicks it.

Thanks for the reply.
