Spinner view; selector not working

Spinner xml:

<Spinner
        android:id="@+id/sort_by_spinner"
        android:layout_marginLeft="40dip"
        android:layout_marginRight="40dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dip"
        android:paddingLeft="6dip"
        android:paddingRight="6dip"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_below="@id/title_bar"
        android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
        android:dropDownSelector="@drawable/spinner_selector"
    />

I've tried using android:background=... buy itself, with dropDownSelector, with and without listSelector=...; with and without listItemDropDownSelector=... and all permutations with drawSelectorOnTop

spinner_selector:

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

I always get the default orange color. I've read numerous posts on this; just can't get it to happen. I have to support v10 and up. What's missing?

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"   
  android:drawable="@drawable/audio_selector"/>    
 <item android:drawable="@drawable/launcher" />
</selector>

easy to use selector place this file in drawable folder you also have image in drawable folder

try it as:

<Spinner         
    android:id="@+id/sort_by_spinner"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/space"
    android:background="@drawable/selection_normal"
    android:dropDownSelector="@drawable/list_item_selector"
    android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />

and the list_item_selector as

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

selection_normal is any image for the spinner, you can ignore it if not needed.

[EDIT]

In order to set highlight the list row of the item touched / clicked do the following:

in the getDropDownView instead of getView method in the spinner's adapter set the selector using the code:

view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.list_item_selector)

or using the setBackground method of the view.
