selected item on custom listview with contextual action bar

I’ve only ever tested this in CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE, but in that situation it works by doing the following.

• When you select a list item, in code, call “setItemChecked(position, checked)” method (on the ListView instance) for that item in the list.

• Add this to the XML for individual ListView items:
  android:background="?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator"
