How to define ColorStateList for TextView?

Question

When my ListViewItem is highlighted, I want the text to turn white. How can I define this?

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    <item android:state_focused="true" android:color="@color/testcolor1"/>    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/testcolor2" />    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/testcolor3" />    <item android:color="@color/testcolor5"/>  </selector> 

Answer 1

Create file res/drawable/text_color.xml:

 <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">     <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:color="#ffffff" />     <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ffffff" />     <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ffffff" />     <item android:color="#000000" /> </selector> 

Then use @drawable/text_color from xml (or R.drawable.text_color from code) as text color for your list view items.

Answer 2

Try this...

First, create a color state list text_color.xml placed in res/color directory.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     tools:ignore="MissingDefaultResource">   <item android:color="#000000" android:state_enabled="false"/>   <item android:color="#FFFFFF"/> </selector> 

Second, use

getColorStateList(@NonNull Context context,             @ColorRes int id) 

method to get color state list.

textView.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(context, R.color.text_color)) 

Third, enable(true) or disable(false) based on your requirements,

textView.isEnabled = true //when item is highlighted
