style="?attr/SelectableItemBackground"

Answer 2

You can do this by below -

Set the android:listSelector="@drawable/selection" to your ListView's xml attribute. And, in your selection.xml contains the selector which will hold the change when you select any item from listview.

selection.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" 
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@color/android_green" />
    <item android:state_focused="true" 
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@color/black_alpha" />
    <item android:state_focused="false" 
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@color/black_alpha" />
    <item android:drawable="@color/white_alpha" />
</selector>
