How to create a state list drawable for my ListView items?

Question

I have a custom ListView selector which draws on top of a ListView. It works fine, but I want the text inside of the listview to turn white. How can I do that?

You need to apply specific color or selector to each list item.

I have something like this (abreviated)

layout/dash_item.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             style="@style/DashboardListItem">
   ... Your text components etc ....

color/dashboard_selector.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:state_focused="true"
           android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
     <item android:state_pressed="true"
           android:drawable="@color/dash_border_color" />
     <item android:state_focused="true"
           android:drawable="@color/dash_border_color" />
</selector>

values/style.xml

 <style name="DashboardListItem">
        <item name="android:background">@color/dashboard_selector</item>
 </style>

You probably will need to play with it to figure where exactly apply things. It can probably be simplified. Anyway, it's just a direction since I don't know your specific requirements.
