There are a few options. You might consider switching the activity to the light theme, as that will give you a white background and have highlights work: <activity android:name=".SomeRandomActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> If you do not like that option, you may wish to use a <selector> drawable XML file instead of a plain color, so you can specify different values for normal versus selected. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
