As it turns out, there seems to be a bug in the system. If you set the background of a list or a grid (even if it is a solid color) then that disappears when you touch around it. This is inspite of disabling cacheColorHint. If you really want to set the background of a list make the list/grid a child of a layout (LinearLayout, Relative Layout, FrameLayout) and set the background of the layout.
