How do I change the color of a selected item on a ListView?

I found out that I have to customize it directly on Android.

To use the theme I changed Droid/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs adding:

[assembly: Application(Theme = "@style/AppStyle.Light")]

And I created some files on:

Droid\Resources\values

colors.xml contains the color definitions for my theme:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<resources>
  <color name="ListViewSelected">#96BCE3</color>
  <color name="ListViewHighlighted">#E39696</color>
</resources>

styles.xml contains the theme settings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<resources>
  <style name="AppStyle.Light" parent="android:style/Theme.Material.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:colorPressedHighlight">@color/ListViewSelected</item>
    <item name="android:colorLongPressedHighlight">@color/ListViewHighlighted</item>
    <item name="android:colorFocusedHighlight">@color/ListViewSelected</item>
    <item name="android:colorActivatedHighlight">@color/ListViewSelected</item>
    <item name="android:activatedBackgroundIndicator">@color/ListViewSelected</item>
  </style>
</resources>

Using these names I can change the listview style.

android:colorPressedHighlight
android:colorLongPressedHighlight
android:colorFocusedHighlight
android:colorActivatedHighlight
android:activatedBackgroundIndicator
