Answer 1

You are currently using an android built-in row component as a view for each row :

 android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1

If you want to customize it, pick the code and put your own version in your app. The original code can be found on google code project for android :

Then you can customize xml and change the color attribute or change for a new selector state.

If you want to something even more custom, override your list's adapter getView method and provide a custom component inflating this xml and providing additional methods to be filled and display your data for each row.

If you want to change the appearance of the elements in the list, Use the CustomListView and CustomAdapter.
