To answer your question number 2: The highlighting is called "activated background" and is logically different from "checked item, one of possibly several to perform actions on".
Marking an item "checked", at least with your MODAL selection mode, will start the action mode, that's just how it works by design. So either don't use MODAL in your list view (as Mark already suggested), or don't treat item selection and item activation (wrt. the background in a master/detail layout) as being logically identical. They are not. I remember seeing bits of code to highlight / activate list items in one of the early fragment samples (which accompanied a write-up by Dianne Hackborn), it had quotes from Shakespeare's plays in it.... if this helps.... -- K 2012/11/1 Jim Stewart <[email protected]> > In portrait mode I have one Fragment List View (A).
