toggleSelectTagView does not change color to selected state colors.

[Sermilion]

I have a use case where I need tags to be pre-selected (with respective "selected state" colors). I found toggleSelectTagView function , which I thing, supposed to do exactly that. However, in the code for selectView I found a TODO:

//TODO change background color
    public void selectView() {
        if (isViewSelectable && !getIsViewSelected()) {
            this.isViewSelected = true;
            postInvalidate();
        }
    }```

Is this not supported atm? Is there a workaround for this?
