ListView TextColor change

I have Listview. I want the color of the text that I have selected to change to white once i have selected it, and to stay white, however when i select another item in the listview I want the previously selected item's color to revert to the default black and the newly selected item to change to white.

My color_selector.xml

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

This only turns the textcolor to white on if i keep the item pressed.

Use state_activated for this, you're really only handling press events in your selector, which is a transient condition that becomes false as soon as the user removes their finger.

You may alternatively be looking for state_selected, review Explanation of state_activated, state_selected, state_pressed, state_focused for ListView for more information.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    .
    <item android:state_activated="true" android:color="@color/white" />
    <item android:state_selected="true" android:color="@color/white" />

    <item android:color="@color/black" />
</selector>
