title: How do I style selected item in Android ListView?
body: <p>I am an Android newbie trying to learn the UI side of things and it's doing my head in. Here's what I have right now:</p>
  
  <p>breeds_listing.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"&gt;
      &lt;ListView android:id="@+id/breedsListView"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:dividerHeight="0px" android:divider="#00000000"&gt;&lt;/ListView&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>breeds_listing_item.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:background="@drawable/list_item_background"
      android:orientation="horizontal" &gt;
      &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/allbreeds_single_item"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:gravity="center_horizontal"&gt;&lt;/TextView&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>list_item_background.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
      &lt;solid android:color="#043402" /&gt;
      &lt;stroke android:width="3dp" color="#ffff8080" /&gt;
      &lt;corners android:radius="8dp" /&gt;
      &lt;padding android:left="10dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="10dp"
          android:bottom="10dp" /&gt;
  &lt;/shape&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I am struggling to figure out is how do I style the selected item? At the moment the selected item has a ghastly orange background which, under the rounded green rectangle, gives an orange outline effect. I'm sure I have not done things in line with best practices so any suggestions or improvements would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks,
  D.</p>
