title: Changing Navigation Drawer Selected Item Color from default blue
body: <p>Hi and thanks for reading. </p>
  
  <p>I have a problem with my android apps navigation drawer where I cannot change the color from blue - I have went over all the other questions from SO, referred to the android documentation, and have tried everything so far... but still no luck. I really hope someone can help. </p>
  
  <p>The code so far:</p>
  
  <p><strong>my_background.xml</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
      &lt;!-- Blue still showing up! --&gt;
      &lt;item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="@color/lightPink" /&gt;
      &lt;item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@color/lightPink" /&gt;
      &lt;item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/lightPink" /&gt;
      &lt;item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@color/lightPink" /&gt;
      &lt;item android:drawable="@color/lightPink" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/selector&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>styles.xml</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;item name="android:activatedBackgroundIndicator"&gt;@drawable/my_background&lt;/item&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>fragment_navigation_drawer.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
      android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
      android:dividerHeight="0dp"
      android:background="?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator"
      android:listSelector="@drawable/my_background"
      tools:context="com.randompractice.app.NavigationDrawerFragment"
  
  /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have been stuck on this for 24 hours now and it is driving me crazy. For such a silly little change that my curiosity told me to implement, has turned into a research project. Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?</p>
