How to set background resource for only gridview selected item in android?

Question

I want to set Background resource of selected item in gridview. When I select an item, it's ok, but the program is not change background resource of only selected item. It changes another item's background too. I can not solve this problem. I have researched, but I couldn't find my problem's solution. Here is my code:

grid_similar_items.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) 
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < grid_similar_items.getChildCount(); i++)
        {
           View v = grid_similar_items.getChildAt(i);
           v.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

        }
grid_similar_items.getChildAt(position).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selected_item_bg_color);
}

Note: I have a year list of items for example: 2012 - 2013 - 2014 and assume that there are 8 items in 2012, 52 items in 2013, and 52 items in 2014. in short gridview list(2012), I did not faced this problem. However, in large gridview list(2013 and 2014) I have faced this problem.

Thank you for your answers.
