Android Question Custom ListView - selected row color

[mfstuart]

Hi all,
With this view, how do you keep the touched row showing as selected with a color, example: blue?
I've searched the forum with no examples. There is the Table view, but I don't need any headers and therefore sorting or searching.
I have 4 Labels on a Layout that will be used with the CustomListView, 2 displayed and 3 hidden.
Currently when the user touches a row, the view shows selected for about a second and then fades away.

I'd like the selection color to remain, to show the user that it was and is selected.
The user would then touch a menu button to take some action based on the selected row.

Thanx,
Mark Stuart

Perhaps something like this:

Sub Customlistview1_ItemClick (Index As Int, Value As Object)
    Dim pnl As B4XView = CustomListView1.GetPanel(Index)
    pnl.Color=xui.Color_Blue
'    pnl.Color=Colors.Red
End Sub

Hi Mahares,
To use your code, which I have, you'll need to "clear" the selected row color in the CustomListView_ItemClick event, as such:

Sub CustomListView_ItemClick (Index As Int, Value As Object)
    CustomListView_Clear    'resets all the panel colors to white
    
    Dim pnl As B4XView = CustomListView.GetPanel(Index)
    pnl.Color=xui.Color_Blue
    'pnl.Color=Colors.Red
End Sub

Sub CustomListView_Clear
    For i = 0 To CustomListView.Size - 1
        Dim p As Panel = CustomListView.GetPanel(i)
        p.Color = Colors.White
    Next
End Sub

Next selection will show the panel color as Blue and all other rows as White.

Thanx for the code Mahares

To use your code, which I have, you'll need to "clear" the selected row color in the CustomListView_ItemClick event ....

Another option would be ... Create a global var to hold the index of previously clicked item (which is also updated in the Click_event)
You would then just reset the color of this clv panel(Index). It then alleviates the need to loop thru all items.

So the changes would be: (thanx MangoJack)

Sub Globals
    Dim pIndex as Int
End Sub

Sub CustomListView_ItemClick (Index As Int, Value As Object)
    CustomListView_Clear    'resets the prevously selected panel colors to white
   
    Dim pnl As B4XView = CustomListView.GetPanel(Index)
    pnl.Color=xui.Color_Blue
    'pnl.Color=Colors.Red
    pIndex = Index
End Sub

Sub CustomListView_Clear
    If pIndex >= 0 Then
        Dim pnl As Panel = CustomListView.GetPanel(pIndex)
        pnl.Color = Colors.White
    End If
End Sub

Yes .. and the way I see it , you probably could get rid of the index check.
Even if there has been no prior click .. it will just re-color clv panel(0) .. first panel.

But on the other hand your index check is probably more ... safer ?

ps: CustomListView ... clvPools ? I am sure you are aware and this is just sample code.... maybe you could correct the last post for future views.

Set the Pressed Color in the designer to transparent if you want to implement your own selection interface.

This way the built-in selection with its animation will be disabled.
