title: How to change color of ListView items on focus and on click
body: <p>i have a list View in my app (this is the xml layout):</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:id="@+id/arrayList"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:textFilterEnabled="true"
         android:scrollbars="vertical"
         android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"&gt;
  &lt;/ListView&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Each item of my list View is composed of two TextView:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;TableLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/row_container"
         android:padding="5px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:background="@color/white" android:shrinkColumns="0"&gt;
                 &lt;TableRow&gt;
                 &lt;TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                         android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/
  description"
                         android:id="@+id/description"
                         android:textColor="@color/black"
                         android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                         android:singleLine="true"&gt;&lt;/TextView&gt;
         &lt;/TableRow&gt;
         &lt;TableRow&gt;
                 &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                         android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/result"
                         android:textColor="@color/grey"
                         android:maxLines="1"
                         android:scrollHorizontally="true"&gt;&lt;/TextView&gt;
         &lt;/TableRow&gt;
  
  &lt;/TableLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm populating my listView from an ArrayAdapter, in this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Matches extends Activity {
  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        
      //set layout
  
      setContentView(R.layout.list_layout);
    // obtain reference to listview
    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.arrayList);
  
    ArrayAdapter&lt;Match&gt; arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;Match&gt;(
          this, R.layout.custom_row, R.id.description, createItems()) {
  
       @Override
       public View getView (int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
          Match item = getItem (position);
          LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
          View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row, null);
          TextView description = (TextView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.description);
          TextView result = (TextView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.result);
          description.setText(item.description + "  Risultato: " + item.result );
          result.setText(item.date + "  " + item.hour);
          return rowView;
       }
    };
  
    listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My goal is to be able to change the text color and the backgorund of these child views whenever the parent is selected or pressed.</p>
  
  <p>How can i do it?</p>
