Thank you for that, but how can I show that the item has been selected?

I tried you suggestion but got an error message.
So I tried
myListView.setSelection(1);
No error message but it doesn't work
Yes, it works.
When users use their touchscreens, there is no notion of "selection",
only item clicks. Hence, in touch mode, setSelection() will have no
visible impact.
Only if the user had been using the D-pad/trackball/whatever immediately
prior to setSelection() will the orange selection bar appear, because
then the user is not in touch mode, and the selection bar indicates
which row will be clicked if the user presses the center button on the
D-pad.
