Android: disable ListView selection

Question

I have a listView that I re-display with the correct answer highlighted when the user selects an item. However, at that point I would like to disable selection of list view

Answer 1

The reason the scrolling is locked is because you are setting up at

ListView

I found a way to disable highlighting without locking the scroll. You need to set it up at ListAdapter as shown below:

ArrayAdapter<String> myList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, strText) {
           public boolean isEnabled(int position) 
            { 
                    return false; 
            } 
        };

Answer 2

I just hid the selected item with this:

listView.setSelector(new ColorDrawable(0));

And then you show it again by restoring to whatever drawable it was using previously:

wifiSsid.setSelector(R.drawable.listview_selector);

Answer 3

I used android:choiceMode="none" as documented here.

Answer 4

You can add attribute to Listview XML layout to disable multiple high light rows as

android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"               
android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent"
