You can also set your color in the xml if you want. Just create a color folder in your res folder and move the xml file there then you can set it via android:textColor="@color/selector_txt"

Regards the problem you're having. Android will always use the first match in a selector. If a TextView is pressed it is also focused. So add android:pressed="false" to your first item or move the line after the pressed status line.

That's the full xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/Red" /> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@color/Darkgreen" /> <item android:state_focused="true" android:color="@color/Darkgoldenrod"/> <item android:color="@color/blue"/> </selector>
