Disable ripple effect on Listview

Question

I have a simple listview that has some listitems. Currently, to make the items ripple on touch, I just added android:drawSelectorOnTop="true" to the listview.

This works perfectly.

However, some of the list items are headers and should not show ripples because they do not have an action associated with them. How can I disable the ripple effect for only the headers?

The listview contains linearlayouts for the rows and the headers.

I tried the following on the header with no success:

• setting clickable to false
• setting listSelector to null.
• setting focusable to false.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Possibly a duplicate question . But as a summary: try disabling those elements in your adapter. You can use the .areAllItemsEnabled() and .isEnabled() callbacks for this purpose.
