How to make a Custom Button with XML Files?

How to make a Custom Button with XML Files? - android

Since I followed a Video from "Coding in Flow", I did everything (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1w3y0saKjY)
And of course, I like to add Custom Buttons into my Game. But the Problem is, that the View shows still the standard button or doesn't even like me (that won't even show in preview). And my laptop doesn't have that much space available, then I can't run on AVD Device. And I'll do the first tests on my 25% development completion.
Still, nothing. This is the code (all 5 codes including styles.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I hope for any answer. It could be the case of "AndroidX" thing.

Button with background and shape doesn't have a press effect

I can't figure out why my buttons doesn't have the press effect.
i guess my styles is the problem.
The button is displayed inside a fragment hosted by AppCombatActivity

</shape>

Now i don't see any effect on the button when i press it. test it on android 6 and 7
EDIT: i have try this but the buttons dont have shape (rounded corners)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView

android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
app:cardCornerRadius="#dimen/_3sdp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/white">

You can use selector as background drawable, refer to this answer.
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="#color/green" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#color/ANY_OTHER" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#color/ANY_OTHER" />
<item android:drawable="#color/green" />
</selector>

I have manage to create a press effect with rounded corners that fades on click this way:
selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:exitFadeDuration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="#drawable/colorbutton" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/gradient" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/gradient" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/colorbutton" />
</selector>
gradient.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
<gradient android:angle="90" android:startColor="#880f0f10" android:centerColor="#880d0d0f" android:endColor="#885d5d5e"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
colorbutton.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/green"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
and on button i set:
<Button
android:background="#drawable/selector" />
thanks #Omkar for the help.

Style file to add border to all buttons?

How can I make a style file that adds borders to all buttons? All buttons already have a background image.

Create your style in file res/values/styles.xml
<style name="KeyBoardButton">
<item name="android:layout_width">0dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">match_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_weight">1</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:layout_margin">4dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">8dp</item>
<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#555</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/button_border</item>
</style>
Define the border that will be used in file res/drawable/button_border.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="4dp"/>
<solid
android:color="#d5cbc6" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#dedede" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="4dp"/>
<solid
android:color="#f9f9f9" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#dedede" />
</shape>
</item>
Now you can use it in your layout files, as follows:
<Button android:id="#+id/my_button"
style="#style/KeyBoardButton"
android:text="1" />

Android custom button style not working

I have this style on my styles.xml:
<style name="btnStyleGenoa" parent="#android:style/Widget.Button">
<item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowRadius">0.6</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/custom_btn_genoa</item>
<item name="android:padding">10dip</item>
</style>
I also have this custom_btn_genoa.xml on drawable folder:
<?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="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#20534e" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#062d30" android:endColor="#4c898e" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#20534e" />
<solid android:color="#125156"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#20534e" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#4c898e" android:endColor="#125156" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Finally, i have this button:
<Button
android:text="#string/change_but"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:id="#+id/change_but"
android:onClick="onChangeClicked"
style=”#style/btnStyleGenoa”
/>
The button does not use the desired style. Last line in button (style) says "attribute value expected. Any thoughts?
(Note, i found this code on a website, it's not mine)

You must replace style=”#style/btnStyleGenoa” to style="#style/btnStyleGenoa"
Working like a charm.

Change tab color, ActionBarCompat

I want to change the color of my tab, this is my code
action_bar_stacked_background.xml

<item android:drawable="#drawable/tab_unselected" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/tab_selected" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="true"/>
<!-- Focused states (such as when focused with a d-pad or mouse hover) -->
<item android:drawable="#drawable/tab_unselected" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/tab_selected" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="true"/>

The tabs are shown with grey bcakground and blue underline, I just want to change de underline color. How can I solve it?
Greetings.

actionBarTabStyle attribute should be with the base Application/Activity theme , not under ActionBar style
Create a custom theme like this
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.Base.AppCompat">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">#style/MyActionBarTabView</item>
<item name="actionBarTabStyle">#style/MyActionBarTabView</item>
</style>
And, custom ActionBarTab theme like this
<style name="MyActionBarTabView" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Base.ActionBar.TabView">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/action_bar_stacked_background</item>
</style>
Set the AppTheme to whole Application theme or for an Activity . Let me know how it works.

When I'm using it :
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/vertical_progressbar"
style="#style/Widget.ProgressBar.Vertical"
android:layout_width="12dip"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
the "match_parent"(the parent is item(row) in custom ListView) value has no effect and set the height as minHeigh, only explicit values can set height(Exmple:"100dip"),
also I have tried to set the value in my getView() method :
itemRow.vProgressBar.setMinimumHeight(convertView.getHeight());
it dosen't help, what is wrong? please help )
