title: changing background color of ListView disables highlight color
body: <p>I've got a list of search results which are being shown in a ListActivity. When I change the background color of the ListActivity items, by changing the background color of the first LinearLayout (parent), the OnClick highlight stops working. Why is this and how can I make this highlight still work when I change the background color of my items? On a side note, is it possible to change the color of this highlight? Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>My XML is something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout&gt;
   &lt;ImageView&gt;
   &lt;LinearLayout&gt;
    &lt;TextView&gt;
    &lt;/TextView&gt;
    &lt;TextView&gt;
    &lt;/TextView&gt;
    &lt;TextView&gt;
    &lt;/TextView&gt;
   &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>and my activity is like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class ResultsPage extends ListActivity {
  </code></pre>
