list - Android ListActivity using SimpleAdapter - Highlight selected item -

i´m using simpleadapter in listactivity , want when user select item highlight item. tried extends simpleadapter , override getview() method:

        public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {         view view = super.getview(position, convertview, parent);         if (position == mitemindex) {             convertview.setselected(true);            convertview.setpressed(true);            convertview.setbackgroundcolor(color.parsecolor("#ff9912"));          }         return view;         } 

but solution don´t work properly. set background color more 1 list row. can sameone me?

that's because convertview being reused , not update selected state both cases (selected / not selected). need call setselected(false) when not item want selected , reset background color. also, call setpressed not needed.

you should checkout colorstatelist allow define colors various states. use built in support single item selection.
