Android - setSelected in OnItemClick in ListView

Question

I am trying to set item selected in OnItemClick event in ListView and it just wouldn't leave item selected. What am I doing wrong?

lView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
   {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") AdapterView parent, View clickedview, int position, long id)
    {
     clickedview.setSelected(true); 
        mItemsAdapter.select(position);
    }
   }); 

few things:
1. I am trying to implement Multiple Select on the list View.
2. I cannot extend from ListActivity because Activity extends from BaseActivity custom class already.
3. mItemsAdapter is a custom ItemsAdapter adapter that extends BaseAdapter.
4. I don't need a checkbox in there, just to be able to see the row selected is fine.
5. ItemsAdapter overrides getView() and sets the layout of the row by inflating xml

I currently don't have much time. So I'll take a look again later this day. Anyway take a look at my previous questions, I was struggling with the same:

• Change ListView background - strange behaviour

• Clickable ListView

In case the solution for you is not in there (I think it's in the first one) we will need more code, in order to help you.

Hope this helps a bit.
