                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">
                <LinearLayout
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="2"
                    android:orientation="vertical">

                            android:layout_width="90dp"
                            android:layout_height="50dp"
                            android:background="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
                            android:layout_gravity="center" />
                    </LinearLayout>

                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+id/layout2"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="70dp"
                        android:orientation="vertical">

                        <ImageView
                            android:id="@+id/img2"
                            android:layout_width="90dp"
                            android:layout_height="50dp"
                            android:background="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
                            android:layout_gravity="center" />
                    </LinearLayout>

                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+id/layout3"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="70dp"
                        android:orientation="vertical">

                        <ImageView
                            android:id="@+id/img3"
                            android:layout_width="90dp"
                            android:layout_height="50dp"
                            android:background="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
                            android:layout_gravity="center" />
                    </LinearLayout>

                    <LinearLayout
                        android:id="@+id/layout4"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="70dp"
                        android:orientation="vertical">

                        <ImageView
                            android:id="@+id/img4"
                            android:layout_width="90dp"
                            android:layout_height="50dp"
                            android:layout_gravity="center"
                            android:background="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />
                    </LinearLayout>
            </ScrollView>

I have done like this onclick of the imageView:

layout1.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);

But this is not giving me the desired output .Please help me in this how we can do this

change the selected State :

public void changeState(){
        for (int i = 0; i < mainLayout.getChildCount(); i++) {
            View child = mainLayout.getChildAt(i);
            child.setSelected(false);
        }
    }

Create a xml drawable in your drawable folder ex: background_linear.xml write the below code 

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

Then set background_linear as background for your LinearLayout in your xml layout.

And on click of image view call this method
layout1.setSelected(true);

To remove the selection you have to call same method by passing false. If you have multiple LinearLayout then you should remember which one was previously selected layout. To achieve this you can do this: Define an int to store id of the previously selected view.

int previously_selected_layout;

And in on click of image view 

 imageview.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View view) {
     ((View)view.getParent()).setSelected(true);
     View v1=findViewById(previously_selected_layout);
     if(v1!=null) v1.setSelected(false);
     previously_selected_layout=view.getParent().getId();
  }
 });

If you don't want set ClickListener to every ImageView in java then set onClick property of all ImageView in xml to same method.
