android-change button background color after clicked
android, android-button
Solution
In android, state of the UI will not persist after the event is completed. For example, you can handle the `button` `click` event and highlight the button but it returns to its normal state once the Up event is fired. So, the only option as far as i know is, change the background of the button by setting a different `drawable resource`.
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.btn_selected_blue);
Problem
Problem: I want to change the background color of a button after it has been pressed. It's a simple problem, but I have spent a lot of time googling this and I can't seem to find a solution. They all refer to the same XML that appears below. My XML is as follows: ``` <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:drawable="@drawable/black_button_pressed" android:state_focused="true" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/black_button_pressed" android:state_pressed="true" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/black_button_normal"/> </selector> ``` So, when a person hovers over a button, it'll appear grayed out. When a person clicks on a button, the button's background should be grayed out after the click, but I can't seem to get it grayed out. It returns to the normal state after the press. Do you guys have any tips and/or pointers to help me?
