the adapter using default adapter. however, want modify it's properties. you'll need implement custom adapter - adapter of own. google custom listview adapter if don't know how that.

and in custom adapter, there'll getview() method , in getview() method of custom adapter check if position of item same selected item. if yes, set background colour.
