By default the selected item color in a Xamarin.Forms ListView is orange.
As many posts already point out, you can change this globally by adding this line to your styles.xml
:
<item name="android:colorActivatedHighlight">@color/accent</item>
Or write some fix that sets the cell's background color using Xamarin.Forms (which in my eyes is a bit of a hack, I rather find a native solution).
I would really like to know if its also possible with a custom renderer (so they can be set independently).
Note: I also tried this answer, however it resulted in multiple cells appearing as selected.
