Android - Textview change color on changing of state

Question

How can I apply color on the various states(focused, pressed, enabled) of the TextView?

I have already referred this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/ColorStateList.html , but do not know how can I apply color state list to the TextView? or is there any other way to do so ?

Update:

I want to change the Background color.

Answer 1

create xml under res/color dir.

example file name : selector_white_gray.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true"
          android:color="@color/Gray"/> <!-- pressed -->
    <item android:color="@color/White"/> <!-- default -->
</selector>

you can add more states. you can use color code like "#ffffff" instead of predefined "@color/White". Becarefull, use android:color not android:drawable. this example changes color of text when pressed on it. set the textColor attribute to selector above.

<TextView
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_weight="1"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:textColor="@color/selector_white_gray"
       android:textSize="18sp" 
       android:textStyle="bold" >
</TextView>
