I want to change background color of a list item

Answer 1

Thanks heycosmo. your solution solved my problem.

Have no clue why we should set background in 2 places.

1. Adapter's getView()

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
     ....
     ....
     ....
        if(arrayBools[position]) {
            view.setBackgroundColor(Common.colorBkgroundSelected);
        }
        else{
            view.setBackgroundColor(Common.colorBkgroundNormal);            
        } 
     ....
     ....
     ....
}

2. ListActivity's onListItemClick().

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
      super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);       
      arrayBools[position] = ( arrayBools[position] ? false : true );

     if(arrayBools[position]) {
         v.setBackgroundColor(colorBkgroundSelected);
     }
     else{
        v.setBackgroundColor(colorBkgroundNormal);          
     }    
}
