如何在TableView中为特定行设置背景颜色

Question

I want to set the the color for a row in my TableView but am having some difficulties. I tried

ListView.getChildAt(0).setBackgroudColor()

but it says I have no children. I do have 5 items but don't know how to say, "Set this item's background color to red" I want to do this programmatically in any method in my code.

Any suggestions?

This is probably more effort than you'd want to do, but you could make your own custom adapter and set your background for that row in the adapter.

Here is a nice tutorial that does it:

Basically in your adapter, you can override getView

   @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
      View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
      if (position == 0) {
          view.setBackgroundColor(yourColor);
      }
      return view;
    }

One advantage to doing this... you can do further customizations to that row to make it stand out.
