Use this type of technique to change the color dynamically:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@color/black" /> <!-- focused -->
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/black" /> <!-- focused and pressed-->
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/green" /> <!-- pressed -->
    <item android:drawable="@color/black" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

Here is the code I wrote and used: It keeps the android style for all other states. it just overlays the transparent state with your desired color:

Layer list drawable for list view with custom background

as you can see in my question there is a minor bug with the focused state, but it is still the best solution i ever saw :D
