Android listselector not visible in custom listview

Question

I have made a custom list having image and textview. On setting the styles, the selector is not visible. The style is invoked using setTheme(R.style.rose); in create method

Answer 1

Android first draws the ListView background as well as the dividers. Then, the system draws the list selector. Finally, ListView renders all itemviews on top of that. So the list selector will never be visible with opaque background set to itemviews
