Listview highlight on press and ripple different in app and on widget... how do i change widget values?
<p>So I have a listview in my app and it seems that the AppTheme value "colorControlHighlight" changes the colors for ripple and onclick row in that listview to (blue).  However I made a listview with identical xml attributes that relate to color on a widget and for some reason the ripple and on press colors are still the default color (white).  If I change the <code>android:listselector</code> attribute for the listview on my widget, it works but it doesn't act the same and the ripple effect is gone. How it acts; after I change listselector it stays blue unless I press a different row on the list. This is not what I want (is this because i haven't set onclick actions yet? or is this how that attribute is designed to work?).  Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>This is my app activity listview</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ListView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:id="@+id/AppUrlList"
    android:background="@color/dark_black"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:dividerHeight="1px"
    android:divider="@color/faded_blue"
    android:clickable="true"
    /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>now this is my widget listview</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ListView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:dividerHeight="2px"
    android:divider="@color/faded_blue"
    android:background="@color/black"
    android:id="@+id/WidgetListView"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>now this is my apptheme</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"&gt;
    &lt;!-- Customize your theme here. --&gt;
    &lt;item name="colorPrimary"&gt;@color/colorPrimary&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="colorPrimaryDark"&gt;@color/colorPrimaryDark&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="colorAccent"&gt;@color/colorAccent&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;@color/faded_blue&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="colorControlActivated"&gt;@color/bright_blue&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="colorControlHighlight"&gt;@color/bright_blue&lt;/item&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>thanks for the suggestions to improve my question i'm new here</p>
