BackgroundResource border top and bottom

Actually I have this code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <solid 
        android:color="#ffffff" />
    <stroke 
        android:width="0.5dp" 
        android:color="#000000" />
</shape>

It creates a border around a view but I want only make a border in top and bottom.

How?

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot it should work with state pressed

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item 
        android:state_pressed="true"   
        android:drawable="@color/color" />
</selector>

Try this

bkg.xml in drawable folder

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item> 
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
      <solid android:color="#FF0000" /> 
    </shape>
  </item>   
    <item android:bottom="5dp"   android:top="5dp" >  
     <shape android:shape="rectangle"> 
      <solid android:color="#000000" />
    </shape>
   </item>    
 </layer-list>

Change the color and the stroke width according to your requirements.

Edit: To the question in the comment

Define itembkg. xml as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/bkg" /> 
        // bkg.xml in drawable folder
        // drawable in pressed state 
    <item  android:state_focused="false" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/tvnormal" /> 
        // set a different drawable in normal state
</selector>

Then in your view add the below attribute

android:background="@drawable/itembkg"
