title: Showing the current selection in a listview
body: <p>As seen in the tablet version of gmail and google talk I am trying to show the current selection in a listview. I know this is not standard practice and should be avoided when necessary.in my program the listview is alway on the screen and the item clicked shows a new fragment to the right (similar to gmail and google talk). </p>
  
  <p>To avoid the user from guessing what item has been selected I would like to show the current selection, I tried creating a selector but after it is clicked it changes back to the normal background.</p>
  
  <p>how can I achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>this is my selector xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" &gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_bg2" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="false"
      android:state_focused="false"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_selected_bg2" android:state_pressed="true"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_selected_bg2" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false"
      android:state_selected="true" android:state_checked="false"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_selected_bg2" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="true"
      android:state_selected="false"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_selected_bg2" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false"
      android:state_selected="false" android:state_checked="true"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_selected_bg2" android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="true"
      android:state_selected="true" android:state_checked="true"/&gt;
  &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/list_item_selected_bg2" android:state_pressed="true"/&gt;
  
  
  
  &lt;/selector&gt; 
  </code></pre>
