I am new to Android and i was setting up my xml file. Is there a way to change the colour of the button with a feel of "click" when the button is clicked and then return to it's original colour WITHOUT changing the colour of the border?
I am using eclipse.
Thank you
First you need to make some xml files in the Drawable folder:
btn_clicked.xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#ff0000" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#fff" />
</shape>
btn_normal.xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#00ff00" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#fff" />
</shape>
name_btn.xml:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/btn_clicked" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/btn_normal"/>
</selector>
and then use it like this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button android:layout_width="140dp" android:layout_height="40dp"
android:background="#drawable/cancel_btn" />
</RelativeLayout>
AndroidGeek,
You can specify the effects inside an .XML file under the drawable folder and then linking the file to the Button under the layout folder.
Example:
Inside your activity_main.xml Your Button tag will look like as :
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Styled Button"
android:id="#+id/styledButton"
android:background="#drawable/button"/>
Create an XML file [Example: button.xml] under the res/drawable folder to specify the changes that will take place when the button is pressed.
Below is the contents of the button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Changes that the button has to show when it is pressed -->
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape>
<solid
android:color="#ef4444" />
<!-- Keep the stroke values same if you want the same border effect, irrespective you press / un-press the button
In case ih you want to change the border thickness, while the button is being clicked,
then increase the "android:width" value -->
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#992f2f" />
<corners
android:radius="6dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Default appearance when the button is displayed -->
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="#ef4444"
android:endColor="#992f2f"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#992f2f" />
<corners
android:radius="6dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Hope this helps.
This should work irrespective of the IDE. Eclipse and Android Studio.

I am trying to customize and android seekbar (using API 17) so that the whole progress bar line is blue.
I have created the following XML in res/drawable:
draw_seekbar_settings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<clip>
<shape
android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:color="#color/progressFxBar"
android:width="2dp"
/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</selector>
and
<SeekBar
android:id="#+id/t_seekbar"
android:layout_width="220dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:max="100"
android:progress="50"
android:progressDrawable="#drawable/draw_seekbar_settings"
The problem is only half the progress bar is blue, the other half doesn't have any colour whatsoever.
I would like to get this image
Instead I am getting this
change the draw_seekbar_settings.xml as follows:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Define the background properties like color etc -->
<item android:id="#android:id/background">
<shape
android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:color="#color/progressFxBar"
android:width="2dp"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Define the progress properties like start color, end color etc -->
<!-- if you want to change the progress edit following -->
<item android:id="#android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="#007A00"
android:centerColor="#007A00"
android:centerY="1.0"
android:endColor="#06101d"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
I wanna have a button with backgroundTint and corner radius :D
Here is the style I defined:
<style xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" name="myButton" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/button_light</item>
<item name="android:backgroundTint" tools:targetApi="lollipop">#e0e0e0</item>
</style>
And the #drawable/button_light code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
<solid android:color="#FAFAFA" />
</shape>
And I apply #style/myButton to the button I want and the result is I have round corners but no ripple effect (backgroundTint doesn't work indeed).
How can I solve this?
You can use layer-list to achieve this.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
<solid android:color="#FAFAFA" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Put any image or anything here as the drawable -->
<item android:drawable="?attr/selectableItemBackground"/>
</layer-list>
Create a drawable/butt.xml file containing:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#41ba7a" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#03ae3c" />
<padding
android:bottom="4dp"
android:left="4dp"
android:right="4dp"
android:top="4dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#3AA76D" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#03ae3c" />
<padding
android:bottom="4dp"
android:left="4dp"
android:right="4dp"
android:top="4dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
2: Use it in button tag in any layout file in your code
<Button
android:layout_width="220dp"
android:layout_height="220dp"
android:background="#drawable/butt"
android:text="#string/btn_scan_qr"
android:id="#+id/btn_scan_qr"
android:textSize="15dp"
/>
you can use from this library :
material ripple effect
to add ripple effect to your button and adding your shape to button
like this :
<com.balysv.materialripple.MaterialRippleLayout
style="#style/RippleStyleBlack"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/call_btn"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
style="#style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
android:text="call"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:background="#drawable/call_btn_bg"
android:textColor="#color/deep_orange_600"
/>
</com.balysv.materialripple.MaterialRippleLayout>
I have Button that is using a custom drawable to make rounded corners. But I would like to change the background colors for the different states, focused, pressed etc..
I have used the below in onCreate to change the overall background color. But I don't know how to target the state_pressed to change its color too.
Any help?
in onCreate
DrawableCompat.setTint(btnLogin.getBackground(), ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorGreen));
Button
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnLogin"
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:background="#drawable/button_rounded"
android:text="Sign In"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textStyle="bold" />
button_rounded.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="10dip" />
<solid android:color="#5c89c1" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="10dip" />
<solid android:color="#204778" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="10dip" />
<solid android:color="#204778" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Try this and it work for me:
Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.button_rounded);
drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable.mutate(), getResources().getColor(R.color.colorGreen));
I have the following XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke
android:width="0dp"
android:color="#CCFFFFFF" />
<solid android:color="#55FFFFFF" />
<padding
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp" />
<corners android:topLeftRadius="0dp" android:topRightRadius="0dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="8dp" android:bottomRightRadius="8dp" />
</shape>
which produces the following:
How do I modify the code so there is a black line on the top like this:
You can add above the text and below the shape in xml file this code
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#000000" />
You should do what with nine-patch or insert View widget with height 1dp (or more) and black background above this TextView.
when the color of the top layer IS NOT semi-transparent, there is a fast, versatil, and clean, to add borders to a view, with layerlist drawable.
Probably you couldnt use it in your case, but it this will be handful to somebody else who reach this question
for this, you create an xml file in you drawable folder, called border.xml with this content:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<padding android:left="0dp" android:top="0dp" android:right="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp" />
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item >
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<padding android:left="0dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then in your layout, you use
android:background="#drawable/border"
with this you have a way to quickly add borders, to one, or more sides of any view.
I'm using an xml file in drawable to make my buttons in my app 'pretty'.
^ Like that.
It works fine, however I want to add a tick or cross to the buttons (to mark completed or not) - I'm not too sure if it's possible.
Here is my xml for the buttons:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape>
<solid
android:color="#449def" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#2f6699" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="#449def"
android:endColor="#2f6699"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#2f6699" />
<corners
android:radius="4dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
I'm setting the Background element on the button to use the above like #drawable/bluebuttons
Any help will be really appreciated
If you are using button then you can use Button's property in XML file.
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ANY_DRAWABLE_IMAGE"
In my case it was like this:
<Button android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
...
...
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_tick" />
Or in your code, you can put like this:
// PUT ZERO FOR NO DRAWABLE
textView1.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(LEFT_DRAWABLE, TOP_DRAWABLE,RIGHT_DRAWABLE, BOTTOM_DRAWABLE);
Hope this will help you.
If you are interested in setting image on button dynamically from Activity then you can use this :
Drawable iconTick= getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_tick);
mBtnTaks1.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(iconTick, null, null, null); // left,top,right,bottom
Thanks.
