Getting orange highlight color in the padding space of gridView on click

I am getting a orange highlight color in the GridView, when i press it. As I have specified the padding, this highlight appears in that a开发者_开发知识库rea.

Can somebody please help me to know, how to avoid it?

I have used OnKeyDown event for the GridView, but call does not comes to that. As such the adapter provides images for the region which is left without the padding.

Wanted to add a non-link answer:

In the xml for the gridView, add the following attribute

android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"

That will make the selected state color of the gridView transparent, and will, in effect remove the orange highlighting.
