Answer 1

Simply you can do it like this in onListItemClick method

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

    for (int a = 0; a < l.getChildCount(); a++) {
        l.getChildAt(a).setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
    }

    ColorDrawable colorDrawable1 = new ColorDrawable(
            Color.parseColor("#A0A3A0"));
    v.setBackgroundDrawable(colorDrawable1);   

    if (position == 0) {
        Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NewActivity.class);

        startActivity(i);
    }

}
