Android:Styling ListView

I want to put some style in the ListView in such a way that when an item of ListView is hovered, the color of that list item changes. I dont have any idea about how to achieve this.

Please suggest some other ideas about styling the ListView as well.

Regards,

Use selector to define what should happen when you focus the item, select the item and press the item, I doubt you cannot hover over a view, since Android devices use touch screen interface and not a pointing interface like a mouse..

This should help you:

Create a XML file in drawable folder named listselector.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@color/blue" /> <!-- focused -->
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/blue" /> <!-- focused and pressed-->
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/green" /> <!-- pressed -->
    <item android:drawable="@color/white" /> <!-- default -->
 </selector>

Then set the background of your TextView which you use in ListView to this like

android:background = "@drawable/listselector",

that should do it.
