How to select a newly created Item ListView

I used this solution

1) Use class to store ListView data

  public class ArrayGroup { private String name; private boolean isNew; //именно здесь храню признак нового элемента public ArrayGroup(String name, boolean isNew) { this.name = name; this.isNew = isNew; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public boolean isNew() { return isNew; } public void setNew(boolean aNew) { isNew = aNew; } } 

2) Create an adapter:

 public class AdapterGroup extends BaseAdapter { Context cont; LayoutInflater lInflater; ArrayList<ArrayGroup> objects; AdapterGroup(Context context, ArrayList<ArrayGroup> mylist){ cont= context; objects= mylist; lInflater=(LayoutInflater) cont.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); } @Override public int getCount() { return objects.size(); } @Override public Object getItem(int position) { return objects.get(position); } @Override public long getItemId(int position) { return position; } @Override public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View view = convertView; if (view == null) { view = lInflater.inflate(R.layout.item, parent, false); } ArrayGroup p = ((ArrayGroup) getItem(position)); ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView1)).setText(p.getName()); if(p.isNew()){ //АНИМАЦИЯ ЕСЛИ НОВЫЙ p.setNew(false); //Снимаем флаг нового // ******** В ЭТОМ МЕСТЕ АНИМАЦИЕЙ ОТМЕЧАЙТЕ ВАШ НОВЫЙ ЭЛЕМЕНТ AlphaAnimation alphaAnimation = new AlphaAnimation(0.4f, 0.9f); alphaAnimation.setDuration(3000); alphaAnimation.setFillAfter(true); alphaAnimation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView1)).setAnimation(alphaAnimation); //ДЕЛАЙТЕ С ЭЛЕМЕНТОМ ListView что угодно //Можете изменить backGround и в новом потоке через х секунд вернуть backGround } return view; } } В Activity все просто public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { Button btnAdd; AdapterGroup adapter; ArrayList<ArrayGroup> items = new ArrayList<ArrayGroup>(); ListView listView; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); adapter = new AdapterGroup(this, items); listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView); listView.setAdapter(adapter); btnAdd = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonAdd); btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { items.add(new ArrayGroup("Hello! "+new Date().toString(), true)); adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); } }); } }
