title: Can't make my ListView selectable, on press the element doesn't highlight
body: <p>Hi I created a ListView extending the ListActivity class, it works all fine but when I click on a item it doesn't get highlighted.</p>
  
  <p>This is how I populate the list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
      View v = convertView;
  
      if (v == null) {
          LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
          v = vi.inflate(R.layout.row_event, null);
      }
      Event ev = items.get(position);
  
      if (ev != null) {
          //line one
          TextView eventName = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toptext);
          //line two
          TextView eventDate = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.bottomtext);
  
          if (eventName != null) {
              eventName.setText(ev.getEventName());                            }
          if (eventDate != null){
              eventDate.setText(ev.getEventDate());
          }
      }
  return v;
  }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
