Add a Ripple background to a list

ListView

<ListView
  android:id="@+id/list_view"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:listSelector="@drawable/my_ripple"
  android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"/>
<!-- drawSelectorOnTop is actually very important: without it the ripple will be drawn under row view -->

<!-- Alternative way -->
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list_view"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:listSelector="?attr/selectableItemBackground" />

Ripple background

<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:color="@color/red">
    <item
        android:id="@android:id/mask"
        android:drawable="@color/red_bg"/>
</ripple>
