I have an XML file called playnext. I added this file as a background to my button.XML include two images that is for button press and button release.I need to add border to these two images using the XML.
XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="#drawable/ic_remote_playnext" ></item>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/next_pressdown" ></item>
</selector>
Please tell me how to add a border to this? Is there is any other way to add borders to button?
make a drawable xml as selector
<?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="yoursolidcolor for state pressed" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#171717" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<solid
android:color="#yoursolidcolor for default" />
<stroke
android:width="0dp"
android:color="#171717" />
<corners
android:radius="4dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Then
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/youraboveselectoe"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:text="Button"/>

Is it possible to specify border in android button?
Please add the following code in drawable xml and call the this xml like using
android:background="#drawable/border"
border.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:exitFad eDuration="#integer/short_anim_time">
<item android:drawable="#color/orange" android:state_pressed="true" />

I tried this below code its showing normal effects.I want when i click on spinner the down should hide..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient android:angle="90" android:endColor="#B3BBCC" android:startColor="#E8EBEF" android:type="linear" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000" />

</item>
<item>
<bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right" android:src="#drawable/spinner_arrow" />
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</selector>
Thank is Advance...
I have made my custom spinner like this follow these step:
Step 1: create one Drawable resource file inside your drawable folder say spinnerbg.xml and write below code in your xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient android:angle="90"
android:endColor="#color/spinner"
android:startColor="#color/spinner"
android:type="linear" />
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right"
android:src="#drawable/dropdown" />
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</selector>
Step:2 Inside your style.xml write below code
<style name="spinner_style" >
<item name="android:background">#drawable/spinnerbg</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">10dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
</style>
step:3 And finallay inside your spinner use style like this.
<Spinner
style="#style/spinner_style"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</Spinner>
I want to change the color of TextView on different states for example on pressed, on focused etc.
I'm using the following code yet, and I need some addition which changes the color of TextView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<corners android:radius="2dp"/>
<padding android:left="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<ripple
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?android:attr/colorControlHighlight" android:state_pressed="true">
<item
android:id="#android:id/mask"
android:drawable="#color/colorBackgroundDark"></item>
</ripple>
</item>
</layer-list>
Have you tried using a drawable selector?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/background_category_filter_selected" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/background_category_filter_not_selected" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_pressed="false"></item>
</selector>
IN this example I have different drawables for when a button is pressed or not. There are other states you can use like active, focused...
Later I just do this
<Button
android:id="#+id/first_day_forward"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:background="#drawable/background_filter_button_square"
android:text=">"
android:textAppearance="#style/fontMontseratReg"
android:textColor="#drawable/filter_text_button" />
In the example I used a Button, but I reckon it works with Text View as well.
To change the fill in your xml shape tag use solid, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
<corners android:radius="3dp"/>
</shape>
In you case you could do something like this:
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<corners android:radius="2dp"/>
<padding android:left="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<ripple
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?android:attr/colorControlHighlight" >
<item
android:id="#android:id/mask"
android:drawable="#color/colorBackgroundDark"></item>
</ripple>
</item>
</selector>
Xamarin, android.
I made a selector which changes background colors:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false">
<shape>
<solid
android:color="#aaaaac"/>
<corners
android:radius="6dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
<drawable
drawableLeft="#drawable/male"/>
</item>
<item android:state_checked="true">
<shape>
<solid
android:color="#357fca" />
<corners
android:radius="6dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
<drawable
drawableLeft="#drawable/male_pushed"/>
</item>
</selector>
Besides that, I also want to change drawableft and text colors as follows.
If - android:state_checked="false"
then
android:textColor="#000000" and android:drawableLeft="#drawable/male"
if - android:state_checked="true"
then android:textColor="#ffffff" and
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/male_pushed"
How to do this?
You can't set multiple properties like drawableLeft, textColor etc using Single selector. You should create selector for each attributes.
Create
drawable_left_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="#drawable/male"/>
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="#drawable/male_pushed"/>
</selector>
text_color_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false" android:color="#000000"/>
<item android:state_checked="true" android:color="#ffffff"/>
</selector>
toggle_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#aaaaac"/>
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_checked="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#357fca" />
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Set ToggleButton
<ToggleButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/toggle_selector"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/drawable_left_selector"
android:textColor="#drawable/text_color_selector" />
I have applied a shape for a button like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient android:startColor="#DD000000" android:endColor="#DD2d2d2d" android:angle="90"></gradient>
<corners android:radius="15dip"></corners>
</shape>
Now I want to use a selector like:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/active"
android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/passive"/>
for this Button as well. Is it possible ...???
use this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape>.......</shape>
</item>
..........
..........
</selector>
Detailed to the point answer
Create a color resource in
res/values/colors.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<item name="yellow" type="color">#F7B500</item>
<item name="yellow_dark" type="color">#AC7E00</item>
<integer-array name="androidcolors">
<item>#color/yellow</item>
<item>#color/yellow_dark</item>
</integer-array>
</resources>
Create a drawable at
res/drawable/bg_yellow_round.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/yellow" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/yellow" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topRightRadius="20dp" />
</shape>
Create another drawable, you want for transition at same place and name it
res/drawable/bg_yellow_dark_round.xml
<solid android:color="#color/yellow_dark" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/yellow_dark" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topRightRadius="20dp" />
Now create a color state list at
res/color/btn_selector_yellow.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:drawable="#color/yellow" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/bg_yellow_dark_round" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/bg_yellow_round"/>
</selector>
Now set it to your button as following
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="248dp"
android:layout_height="44dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:background="#color/btn_selector_yellow"
android:text="AZ_ is so cool" />
Now this will do transition from
to
.
shape.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/star_off"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
<padding android:left="0dp" android:top="0dp" android:right="0dp" android:bottom="0dp" />
</shape>
selector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:exitFadeDuration="#android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime">
<item android:drawable="#color/tab_focused" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/tab_pressed" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/shape"/>
</selector>
You can also create a shape that is using a selector inside. If your shape is just changing its color in different states, this is a lot cleaner.
color/color_selector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#color/blue_dark" android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:color="#color/blue_light" />
</selector>
drawable/shape.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/color_selector" />
<corners android:bottomLeftRadius="6dip" android:bottomRightRadius="6dp" />
<padding android:bottom="0dip" android:left="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:top="0dip" />
</shape>
Well I know it's way too late
But here is a solved example
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_out_going_calls"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="04dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/header_text_view_selector"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/outgoing_calls_tab_button_text"
android:textColor="#color/home_text_color" />
and my header_text_view_selector
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/home_fragment_tab_color_selected"/>
<corners android:radius="25dip" />
<padding android:bottom="08dip" android:left="9dip" android:right="9dip" android:top="08dip" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_selected="false">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/home_fragment_tab_color_simple"/>
<corners android:radius="25dip" />
<padding android:bottom="08dip" android:left="9dip" android:right="9dip" android:top="08dip" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
So basically i m creating a rounded textview with selector. Here i m handling only state_selected and not_selected. Hope it helps
This is my way, and it works!
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<gradient android:centerX=".6"
android:centerY=".40"
android:endColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:gradientRadius="20"
android:startColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:type="radial" />
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<size android:width="55dp"
android:height="55dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="false">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<gradient android:centerX=".6"
android:centerY=".40"
android:endColor="#android:color/transparent"
android:gradientRadius="20"
android:startColor="#android:color/transparent"
android:type="radial" />
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<size android:width="55dp"
android:height="55dp" />
</shape>
</item>
My example is a circle button with state_pressed.
code bellow:
<?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="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/light_primary_color" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/accent_color" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Use your shape name as you use any image and use it selector as you use image. Try out you will not face any problem. Is that what you were asking?
To be more reusable, you can set states on single properties. Avoid duplicating your shapes
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
<solid
android:state_enabled="false"
android:color="#color/transparent"
/>
<solid
android:state_enabled="true"
android:color="#color/background"
/>
<stroke
android:width="#dimen/dividerHeight"
android:color="#color/dividerLight"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
I was able to set background programmatically once disabled using this method.
Normal button looks like:
Now, please let me know, How can i make a simple button same as an attached image button (i.e. button corner shape is round and also there is no gap between two buttons)
1- create shapes (with desired colors) for pressed and released states
To create the shapes I would suggest this great website the will do it for you: http://angrytools.com/android/button/
drawable\botton_shape_pressed.xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#color/pressed_button_background"
android:endColor="#color/pressed_button_background"
android:angle="45"/>
<padding android:left="7dp"
android:top="7dp"
android:right="7dp"
android:bottom="7dp" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>
drawable\botton_shape_released.xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#color/released_button_background"
android:endColor="#color/released_button_background"
android:angle="45"/>
<padding android:left="7dp"
android:top="7dp"
android:right="7dp"
android:bottom="7dp" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>
2- create a selector for the two shapes
drawable\botton_selector.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/botton_shape_pressed"
android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/botton_shape_pressed"
android:state_selected="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/botton_shape_released" />
</selector>
3- use the selector for the button
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/test"
android:textColor="#color/blue_text"
android:onClick="testOnClickListener"
android:background="#drawable/botton_selector" />
9-patch would work fine here, but I try to avoid them since it's hard for me to do them :(
You can try having a selector and using a shape for each state:
The shape would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#AAFFFFFF"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>
</shape>
You need to create a 9-patch drawable. In order to have no gap (margin) between the buttons you need to create the appropriate layout in XML and set the margin to 0.
look for foursquared source code and look for SegmentedButton.java file, this is the file that implement these buttons shown in the image.
Create a Nine patch drawable which is easy with draw9patch (part of android/tools) and then apply styles and themes... the tutorial at this link (Androgames.net) should get you started.
to style the text you can add this to the strings.xml
<style name="ButtonText">
<item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:layout_margin">3dp</item>
<item name="android:textSize">30dp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#000000</item>
<item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowRadius">2</item>
</style>
and call it in the main.xml button
style="#style/ButtonText"
and an alternative method you can play with is creating in #drawable/btn_black with the following...
<?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="#343434" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#171717" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="#343434"
android:endColor="#171717"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#171717" />
<corners
android:radius="4dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
You can also use ImageView in your xml file and than give onClickable and onFocusable true and then create onClick event method on backend code and give the name of the method on xml , so that instead of dealing with all shape or button issues you just put the imageview there and make it act like a button.Here is sample code for you
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/test"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:onClick="testClickEvent"
android:paddingRight="8dip"
android:paddingBottom="8dip"
android:src="#drawable/testImg"/>
As I said on backend side create method with sign like this and this will do the job
public void testClickEvent(View v){}
Then implement what you wanna do in this method
button_primary.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#color/background"
android:startColor="#color/background" />
<corners android:radius="1dp" />
<stroke
android:width="2px"
android:color="#color/colorPrimary3" />
</shape>
call
style="#style/button_primary"
