Change TextView background with ripples

I have a RecyclerView (grid layout) whose elements are TextViews. When a user clicks on a TextView I change the color of the background. I allow for multiple selections. All of this works fine. Now I have a new requirement to show ripple when a user clicks on a TextView. So basically I must accomplish two things:

  1. show ripple
  2. change the background of the TextView

How do I accomplish this? I tried using android:drawSelectorOnTop="true” in the RecyclerView (xml) but that made no difference.

So imagine I have to change the background of the TextView between blue and green. But on top I have to always show the ripple for the onLongClick

Assuming you are using the Android Support library change the android:background of your item layout to ?attr/selectableItemBackground or ?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless which will apply the ripple on Lollipop+ devices and fallback to a full item select on lower devices.
