Disable Android GridView highlighting completely (disable selection)
For keeping the items clickable you should use below attr. in your GridView xml:
android:listSelector="#00000000"

In the definition of your Adapter for the GridView, you will have to override the following methods:
@Override
public boolean areAllItemsEnabled()
{
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean isEnabled(int position)
{
return false;
}
This will cause all of the items in your grid to be non-selectable, and will get rid of the highlight completely.
Just Set v.setOnClickListener(null);
