TextView color is not changing on click

Question

I'm using selector to change textview color when user touch it. But the color is permanently black and not changing when touch. Here is my code :

@color/red.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" />

textview :

 <TextView
    android:id="@+id/delete"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_x="59dp"
    android:layout_y="449dp"
    android:text="Delete"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
    android:textColor="@color/red"
    android:textSize="20dp" />

Solution : Use setOnClickListener() for textview instead of setOnTouchListener().

I am not sure if it is relevant but you can try to set android:clickable="true" it may somehow solve your issue, because your selector seems ok to me... — yahya, Nov 26 '13 at 10:26

EDIT

<item android:drawable="@drawable/color_white" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/color_black"></item>

in color.xml

<drawable name="color_black">#000000</drawable>
<drawable name="color_white">#ffffff</drawable>

did you do this ===>textview.setOnClickListener() and textView.setClickable(true) – Hardik Nov 26 '13 at 10:28
I used textview.setOnTouchListener() – Selvarathinam Vinoch Nov 26 '13 at 10:32
hi @Vinoch i edited my answer if previous not work try above. – Hardik Nov 26 '13 at 10:32
onTouch will not work you hava to do OnClick Listener if you want to use selecter. – Hardik Nov 26 '13 at 10:34
can we use onclickListener for textview?? I thought we should use ontouchlistner(). – Selvarathinam Vinoch Nov 26 '13 at 10:37

Try

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:color="#ffffff" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ff0000" />
<item android:color="#000000" />
</selector>

Make sure you have red.xml in drawable folders and use @drawable/red instead of android:textColor="@color/red" – Prashant Thakkar Nov 26 '13 at 10:38
