Here's a link to California's "Guidelines for Determining Resident Status" tax publication:

As @rjs indicated, your resident state for tax purposes is not a matter of pick and choose; it's a matter of state law.
Be aware that the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) does conduct residency audits to ascertain whether a taxpayer is a California resident, a non-resident, or a part-year resident, in order to determine the correct amount of that taxpayer's California income tax obligation.
