Sure, it's best to use styles here:

<!-- res/values/styles.xml -->
<style name="ListView" parent="@android:style/Widget.ListView">
    <item name="android:background">@color/light_grey</item>
    <item name="android:cacheColorHint">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:divider">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:dividerHeight">0dp</item>
    <item name="android:listSelector">@drawable/list_item_selector</item>
</style>

The @color/light_grey definition:

<!--- res/values/colors.xml --->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
   <color name="light_grey">#cccccc</color>
</resources>

You'll have to define the light_grey color in your colors.xml and create the card style list_item_selector.xml in your drawables folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/item_selected" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/item_focused" android:state_focused="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/item_normal"/> 
</selector>
