android change view of selected item in adapterview

I have a listview with a textview as each item. I want to change the textcolor of the selected item. For this use the onItemSelected method to make the changes. Say first I select the 1st row, the first row's textcolor changes. Now when I select the 2nd row, its text color also changes, but I want the 1st row's color to change back to its default color. How do I do that, since in the onItemSelected I only get the refernce of the currently selected item and not the last selected. Is there any way other than holding a reference to the last selected view.

Instead of doing it in Java, you can let android handles it in the xml file. See Color State List Resource.

When first item is selected store its position in instance variable of your activity, lets name it currentlySelected. Then combine with this Android: Access child views from a ListView in order to get the view at position currentlySelected and change it's textcolor.
