Setting Android TextView text color programmatically with setTextColor() renders android:duplicateParentState invalid

I have a listview of simple text items. The TextView in those items looks like this (it's wrapped inside a `RelativeLayout`): ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/text_language_name" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:duplicateParentState="true" android:textSize="16sp" android:textStyle="bold" /> ``` I want to use the following color state selector for the text, which I have called "dark_list_text_states.xml": ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@android:color/white"/> <item android:color="@color/dark_list_text"/> </selector> ``` Normally, of course, I could just set that to the `android:textColor` property in the xml, but in this case, I need to set one particular item programmatically to a different color, using this selector ("blue_text_states.xml"): ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@android:color/white"/> <item android:color="@color/selected_blue"/> </selector> ``` So I set the text color in the Adapter (`language_name` and `selected` are defined earlier in the code): ``` TextView text_language_name = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.text_language_name); if (text_language_name != null) { text_language_name.setText(language_name); int text_color = selected ? getResources().getColor(R.color.blue_text_states) : getResources().getColor(R.color.dark_list_text_states); text_language_name.setTextColor(text_color); text_language_name.setDuplicateParentStateEnabled(true); } ``` And this works fine, except for one problem: the text color doesn't change when the item is clicked. Even though I call `setDuplicateParentStateEnabled(true)` on the item right after `setTextColor()`, that setting is completely ignored. I have tested this by commenting out the Java code that sets the text color and just setting it in the xml, and the selector works just fine. But if I set textColor programmatically, it is completely incapable of duplicating the parent state. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a workaround, or is this just an Android bug I have to live with?
