If you are dealing with ListFragment then this code will be helpful,

  @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        if (view != null) {
            getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
            getListView().setDescendantFocusability(ListView.FOCUS_AFTER_DESCENDANTS);
            catagoryValueListView=getListView();
            catagoryValueListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

             @Override
             public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                 if (ColoredView != null)
                     ColoredView.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); //original color

                 view.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE); //selected color
                 ColoredView = view;
                                  }
        });
    }

}
