focused is for trackball/d-pad -- is this what you want?

Usually you will want to cover all the states you need like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dash_list_on" />
    <item android:state_focused="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dash_list_on" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dash_list_off" />
</selector>

ListViews also have their own item optimizations... you may need to experiment depending on how you are creating the view and handling the click.

Can you post all the code you use in XML and java to interact with the listview and its items (including the adapter if you use one)
