Custom selectableItemBackground

Question

I'm using a RecyclerView for a list. I've a found a really nice solution to give the list click feedback and ripple (on Lollipop). Basically I'm giving my row layout the attribute:

android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

And everything is fine, except that I need a different background color for my list (default state). How can I override just the basic state background (not clicked) giving it a different color?

Answer 1

This will give custom background color and default grey ripple effect:

android:background="@color/YourCustomColor"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

Answer 2

You can try this: it helped me a lot, this way we can use the background we want and keep the great click feedback. Wrap your row view inside a frame layout.
