Deselect selected item in ListView

Question

I use a ListView in my layout like this:

Answer 1

In your XML where you declare the ListView use:

<ListView android:id="@+id/my_list" android:listSelector="#00000000" />

Answer 2

Call requestLayout() on the ListView after clearChoices(). It will work.

Answer 3

As @Muerte mentioned above, doing the following worked for me:

myListView.clearChoices();
myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

That seems like it would be better than redrawing the whole layout.

Answer 4

try this

Create your own selector xml file like this

YourSelector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_enabled="false" android:state_focused="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/item_disabled" />
  <item android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/item_pressed" />
  <item android:state_focused="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/item_focused" />
</selector>

Answer 5

Nothing of the solutions actually worked for me. My listview is for listing the searched items and has a provision to redo the search. On getting the result I added the following code snippet and it worked :)

myAdapter.setSelectedIndex(-1);

Answer 6

You can set a selector after click:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<item android:drawable="@drawable/transparent_white" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/transparent_white" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/transparent_white" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/transparent_white" android:state_focused="false"/>

and the @drawable/transparent_white is #00ffffff
