Disable Android list view 'blue' background

When I click on the list item in Android, I always get a blue background. Event if I use a custom layout, when I click, maybe 2-5dp space around my layout is blue. Also, the text views get darker. How can I disable any changes in view when clicking on the list item?

Use this

<ListView 
        android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent" 
        android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent"
        />

I did it Like this:

<ListView
    android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

I know its kind of late, but one can also use the setSelector method of the listview and set it to android.R.color.transparent. You can also use android:listSelector in the layout file to achieve the same result.

You can simply set the android drawSelectorOnTop attribute to false on your ListView and there will not be any background when you click on an item.

Eg: 

<ListView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>

Create custom theme for your application in /res/values/themes.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

  <!-- application theme -->
  <style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:style/Theme.Light">

    <!-- widget styles -->
    <item name="android:listViewStyle">@style/ListView</item>
  </style>

  <!-- list view -->
  <style name="ListView" parent="@android:style/Widget.ListView">
    <item name="android:background">#ffffff</item>
    <item name="android:cacheColorHint">#ffffff</item>
    <item name="android:divider">#cccccc</item>
    <item name="android:dividerHeight">1px</item>
    <item name="android:listSelector">@drawable/list_selector_background</item>
    <item name="android:fadingEdge">none</item>
  </style>

</resources>

In your AndroidManifest.xml specify the theme:

<application
    ...
    android:theme="@style/CustomTheme" >
