Android Lollipop Recyclerview touch effect on items

The new Recyclerview in Android Lollipop is nice. And it’s even more neat if you can get the “touch effect” on each item of your list.

I had troubles to find how to do that so here is a little reminder.

Simply add

android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"

android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

android:clickable="true"

android:focusable="true"

into your list item root layout.

And you should have this nice touch animation.
