I would like to have an image set to background a text on it and an icon on the left side of the text.
Very easy in iPhone, but can't figure out how to do it at Android, to be resizable that button and keep the icon + text position and distance properly.
iPhone:
Android I have this:
The xml code is:
<Button
android:id="#+id/btSettings"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#id/tvWhatever"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:background="#drawable/bt_general"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/settings_selected"
android:text="#string/settings"
android:textColor="#000000" />
Took the code from here.
If I use android:drawableLeft , than the icon will go to most left part.
If I start playing with semi hardcoded paddings, than I will have different look at diff devives: ( phone and table)
If I add the android:gravity="left|center_vertical" than it will look like this:
The text is variable: it will change, when the user change the language.
How to do it properly?
I don't want to downvote anybody's answer, but please read the question and don't suggest what I have tryed already. Also told the hardcoded fixes doesn't work well.
This is not a homework, but a commercial software part.
Here is a suggested code from answers:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/bt_general"
android:padding="20dip" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/xIcon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
android:src="#drawable/settings_selected" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/xSettingsTxt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="#string/settings"
android:textColor="#000000" />
</RelativeLayout>
What do you think how it will look like the android:layout_marginLeft="10dip" on Galaxy s4? Here is a preview:
This is not, what I have asked. "dip" or "dp" or "px" shouldn't be used anywhere as distance from left, top, because phones has HPDI, smaller screen and Tablets has MDPI and wide resolutions. Simple doesn't work on mdpi, and xxhdpi.
Nizam answer is very close to a good solution:
Maybe you should use RelativeLayout with rounded corners, than put TextView and ImageView inside of it.
Try this:
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
Spannable buttonLabel = new SpannableString(" Settings");
buttonLabel.setSpan(new ImageSpan(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.settings_selected,
ImageSpan.ALIGN_BOTTOM), 0, 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
button.setText(buttonLabel);
Try this:
Follow this : http://porcupineprogrammer.blogspot.in/2013/03/android-ui-struggles-making-button-with.html
<FrameLayout
style="?android:attr/buttonStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_delete"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Button Challenge" />
</FrameLayout>
Here is how i do things :
LAYERS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/rounded_border"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/selector_button"/>
</layer-list>
SELECTOR
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/clr_grey_1" android:state_selected="true" android:state_window_focused="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/clr_grey_1" android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/clr_grey_1" android:state_pressed="true" android:state_selected="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/clr_main_green" android:state_selected="false"/>
</selector>
ROUNDED CORNER
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#color/clr_grey_2" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#android:color/white" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="8dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="8dp"
android:topLeftRadius="8dp"
android:topRightRadius="8dp" />
<padding
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="4dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="4dp" />
</shape>
Use this on relative layout, with an imageview and button inside it
Try below layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/round_corners_drawable" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/xIcon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/xSettingsTxt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Settings"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
and drawable/round_corner_drawable is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#310704"/>
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="20sp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="20sp"
android:topLeftRadius="20sp"
android:topRightRadius="20sp"/>
<gradient
android:startColor="#99310704"
android:centerColor="#99310704"
android:endColor="#99310704"
android:angle="270" />
</shape>
Also, if you want to use your image as a background, give android:layout_height="wrap_content" and set it as a background for relative layout.
p.s. If you put different color values for startColor, centerColor and endColor, you will get that gradient effect for your background drawable. So change the color values accordingly.
EDIT:
Try below layout, i edited it to fit in different screen sizes with rounded corner drawable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="20dip"
android:background="#drawable/dialog_round_corners" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/xIcon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/xSettingsTxt"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/xSettingsTxt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Settings"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button Text"
android:background="#drawable/round_background"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/icon"/>
save the xml code below as round_background.xml and put it on drawable folder. use this if you want, but you can also use image from the drawable folder.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#f5f5f5" />
<corners android:radius="10px" />
<padding
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ccc" />
</shape>
I had achieved that with following code. May be used as an easier alternative to above solutions.
<Button android:id="#+id/btnUserProfile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_user_profile"
android:background="#6C6C6C"
android:drawablePadding="8dp"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:text="#string/my_profile"
android:textStyle="bold|italic" />
the button view is marked in red(this is not a list item but a button with above code):
Found a class called CenteredIconButton that extends Button at this link. Worked like magic. How to have Image and Text Center within a Button . Thanks to #atomicode
If your button width: android:layout_width="wrap_content" then your code will be like this:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/img name"
android:gravity="left|center"
android:text="Button" />
Else if your button width: android:layout_width="match_parent" then your code will be like this:
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/img name"
android:gravity="left|center"
android:text="Button"
android:paddingLeft="100dp"
/>
By the way android:paddingLeft="100dp", change 100 with your suitable value.
<Button
android:id="#+id/btSettings"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/back_button"
android:drawablePadding="5dp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:text="Settings"
android:padding="20dp"
android:textColor="#000000" />
You can use paddingLeft and paddingRight to get button as the one in iphone
Try to use TextView,
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSettings"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#id/tvWhatever"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="#string/settings"
android:textColor="#000000" />
In Java
txtView.setBackgroundResources(R.drawable.bt_general);
txtView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(Drawable left,Drawable top,Drawable right,Drawable bottom);
where Drawable image is,
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),
R.drawable.settings_selected);
BitmapDrawable drawable=new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmap);
I just implemented this kind of button (and it has been deployed in a large scale app), it is not really complicated :
content of large_button.xml :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/large_button_background"
android:clickable="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:src="#drawable/some_icon" />
<com.my.app.widget.RobotoTextView
android:id="#+id/large_button_text"
style="#style/AppName_RobotoBold"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:focusable="false"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:maxLines="1"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/text_main"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Then, to use it I just have to use the include tag :
<include
android:id="#+id/large_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/large_button_height"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/large_button_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/large_button_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/large_button_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/large_button_vertical_margin"
layout="#layout/large_button" />
large_button_background is a selector that points to the different drawables to use for each button state
I used a LinearLayout, it allows to simply center both text & icons in the button. It should also be doable with a GridLayout. If you want to center just on the text (I don't think it looks great though but that's your choice), use a RelativeLayout.
You can use android:paddingLeft, android:paddingRight and layout_width at a fixed width to solve the issue.
<Button
android:id="#+id/btSettings"
android:layout_width="148dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="32dp"
android:paddingRight="32dp"
android:background="#drawable/bt_general"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/settings_selected"
android:text="#string/settings"
android:textColor="#000000"/>

To remove any doubts or thoughts about duplicate: on Material Design is defined what is "extended".
But most of the people confuses "extended" with "Type of Transition: Speed Dial", what make hard to find solutions. Like here
Question
So what I'm looking forward is how setup the FAB with text and a extended size.
Today my code is like this:
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/maps_main_distance_btn"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:text="#string/str_distance_btn"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
But my button look like this:
No text and no right format. I'm using it in a Constraint Layout.
Add the dependencies in your Gradle file:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha04'
in your xml file:
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/fab_margin"
android:text="Create"
app:icon="#drawable/outline_home_24" />
You can create a utility class that animates a MaterialButton to an Extended FloatingActionButton using a ConstraintLayout. You'll first need to declare the two states of the MaterialButton in xml, and then use the TransitionManager to animate between them.
You can read a medium post about it here, in the meantime, I'll add bits of relevant code here.
Collapsed FAB state:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout android:id="#+id/extend_fab_container"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/bg_fab"
android:elevation="8dp">
<android.support.design.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/fab"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.UnelevatedButton"
android:layout_width="56dp"
android:layout_height="56dp"
app:cornerRadius="56dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Extended FAB State:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout android:id="#+id/extend_fab_container"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="8dp"
android:background="#drawable/bg_fab">
<android.support.design.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/fab"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.UnelevatedButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cornerRadius="56dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Background Drawable:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/colorAccent" />
<corners android:radius="56dp" />
</shape>
And relevant Java Expansion code:
private void setExtended(boolean extended, boolean force) {
if (isAnimating || (extended && isExtended() && !force)) return;
ConstraintSet set = new ConstraintSet();
set.clone(container.getContext(), extended ? R.layout.fab_extended : R.layout.fab_collapsed);
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(container, new AutoTransition()
.addListener(listener).setDuration(150));
if (extended) button.setText(currentText);
else button.setText("");
set.applyTo(container);
}
You can use this library to do that. (I used another way)
But I used a FancyButton to create a round and awesome button in coordinator layout as below:
<mehdi.sakout.fancybuttons.FancyButton
android:id="#+id/actMain_btnCompare"
app:layout_behavior="#string/fab_transformation_sheet_behavior"
android:layout_width="125dp"
android:layout_height="38dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:elevation="3dp"
android:padding="2dp"
fancy:fb_borderColor="#color/white"
fancy:fb_borderWidth="3dp"
fancy:fb_defaultColor="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
fancy:fb_radius="20dp"
fancy:fb_text="مقایسه محصول"
fancy:fb_textColor="#color/white"
fancy:fb_textGravity="center"
fancy:fb_textSize="13sp" />
and result is:
That can have icon in it (see FancyButton).
with app:layout_behavior="#string/fab_transformation_sheet_behavior" it acts like fab as below:
Good luck.
The short answer: set the background to a rect with rounded corners, rather than an oval. Then set the dimension of the radius to half that of the height of the button.
How I actually did it:
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/maps_main_distance_btn"
android:layout_width="#dimen/floating_button_width"
android:layout_height="#dimen/floating_button_height"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:background="#drawable/btn_background_expanded"
android:text="#string/str_distance_btn"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
drawable/btn_background_expanded.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?android:colorControlHighlight">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="?android:colorAccent" />
<corners
android:radius="#dimen/floating_button_radius"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
I want that when the user clicks the button, the background of it will change a bit to get the effect that it has been clicked.
The fragment of my activity XML file:
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/btnParse"
android:text="#string/get_games"
android:textColor="#FFF5F2"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_marginBottom="93dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/buttonshape"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
Button shape XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<corners
android:radius="100dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<gradient
android:angle="45"
android:centerX="0"
android:centerColor="#A80C16"
android:startColor="#E8E8E8"
android:endColor="#FF0F0F"
android:type="linear"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<padding
android:left="42dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:right="50dp"
android:bottom="0dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<size
android:width="270dp"
android:height="60dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#878787"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" />
</shape>
How can I achieve this effect? I tried to implement what I found on similar stackoverflow questions pages but it didn't work. I'm pretty new in Android development so I may don't know some basics...

I have the following layer-list
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

This resource is a black background with some rounded border (Top left and top Right). I want put it in LinearLayout as background property and inside LinearLayour I want put a white Textview and a ImageView. I have the following code
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/ll"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/profile_background_head_item">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/origin"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_config"/>
</LinearLayout>
The problem is that ImageView doesn't show, I think that it is due that my layer-list code, but I don't know how to solve it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Your TextView's width is match_parent, and in a horizontal LinearLayout, that would push the ImageView offscreen.
I suggest using weights, try:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/ll"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/profile_background_head_item">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/origin"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_config"/>
</LinearLayout>
This should have the TextView take up the rest of the horizontal space the ImageView leaves.
I want to create a button with background color, icon and text in android.
But I don't know how to add image. My XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/tableLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button"
android:text="BOTON"
/>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And my background:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="6dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#345953" android:endColor="#689a92" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
I want to make some like this:
how add background image plus text in my background button? I tried put icon with property android:drawableleft but the size was to little for the size of button...
This isn't actually that hard. I just had to do this for my own project.
Android Buttons have a drawableLOCATION property in the XML.
To put an image at the top, as you want it, you'd use
android:drawableTop="#drawable/your_drawable_icon"
All four possible options are:
android:drawableLeft
android:drawableRight
android:drawableBottom
android:drawableTop
To adjust the spacing/padding of the image icon, you can use
android:drawablePadding="12dp"
You can read more about this here.
If that isn't accurate enough for you, you can use a RelativeLayout and put stuff in it to look right.
I had to do that for my current project. So instead of the button, I had this for my XML:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:id="#+id/applianceInfoLayout"
android:clickable="true"
android:background="#drawable/button_background" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/service_menu_icon_padding"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/service_menu_icon_padding"
android:id="#+id/infoTextView"
android:src="#drawable/ic_applianceinfo"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Info"
android:textColor="#E6E7E8"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/infoTextView"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Which gave me this:
I have a background set in my activity_main.xml simply as that:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/background4">
And I also have this imageview:
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/textView5"
android:src="#drawable/contact" />
and my selector.xml looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/contact_pressed"/>
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/contact"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/contact"/>
</selector>
And nothing happens on image press
try to change this:
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/textView5"
android:src="#drawable/contact" />
with this:
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/textView5"
android:src="#drawable/selector" />
Obviously your selector.xml should be into drawable folder
The selector you mention above IS a background. What View are you trying to use? Maybe use an ImageView, you can set your selector as the "background" then use the image as the "src"? Alternatively, you could use seperate overlapping views in a FrameLayout or a RelativeLayout
