Disabling a Button with an icon

I have a simple Button, which has a drawable set as icon:
<Button
android:id="#+id/bOk"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/icon_ok"
android:text="#string/ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
when I disable the button, either in XML layout file: android:enabled="false"
or programmaticaly: bOk.setEnabled(false);
The button gets disabled, it is 'grayed out', but the icon remains as it was ine the enabled state.
How can I get a look, that the icon is also 'grayed out'?
Create a new grayed icon and add both inside a selector.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/icon_ok" android:state_enabled="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/icon_ok_disabled" android:state_enabled="false" />
</selector>
Use inside button like: android:drawableStart="#drawable/selector"
For TextColor,
Create another selector inside res/color/mycustomtextcolor.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#666" android:state_enabled="false" />
<item android:color="#000" android:state_enabled="true"/>
</selector>
Inside your widget call using: android:textColor="#color/mycustomtextcolor"
Or
inside your style add another item using: <item name="android:textColor">#color/mycustomtextcolor</item>
Like a regular Button, a Button that has an image background is not grayed when disabled.
You have to use another image it appears grayed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_enabled="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_gray" /> ***button_gray is a Drawable image***
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_gray" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_red" /> ***button_red is a Drawable image***
</selector>
You can tint your drawable on enabled and disabled state using a selector with bitmaps:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_enabled="false">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/icon_ok" android:tint="#color/disableColorWithAlpha" />
</item>
<item android:state_enabled="true">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/icon_ok" android:tint="#color/colorAccent" />
</item>
</selector>

Button pressed and two images xml android

I have two images. In one is a number, the other is shadow. I need to show this two images as can be seen in the second photo.
This is my code. Right now it only shows or the number (when is not pressed), or the shadow(when is pressed).
How is possible to show both images when the user press the button?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_select" android:state_pressed="true"
android:alpha="0.75"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/number_1" android:state_enabled="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/number_1" android:state_pressed="false"
/>
</selector>
this are the two images
this is the goal
Also I was trying using layerDrawable in this way, but didn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_select" android:state_pressed="true"
android:alpha="0.75"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/number_1" android:state_enabled="true" />
</selector>
</item>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/number_1" android:state_pressed="false"
/>
</selector>
</layer-list>
You should use two different images...
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/pressed_image" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/normal_image" android:state_pressed="false"/>
</selector>
You can use Relative Layout for that
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_background"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button_select"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/number_1"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Just change image of iv_img id GOOD LUCK
please change the drawable selector file with this code..
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/number_1" />
<item android:bottom="#dimen/margin_5" android:left="#dimen/margin_5" android:right="#dimen/margin_5" android:top="#dimen/margin_5">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/button_select" />
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/number_1" android:state_pressed="false"/>
Limitation ::
It can use for single image of number ..for multiple numbers you have to create different selector.xml for each one..
Please tell if need more explanation or help..

Effect for ImageButton in android

I want to create effects for ImageButton. For example, it will change color when clicked...How I do it? I want to do this in .xml file. Can you help me! Thank you!
I tried to create the state.xml file as follwing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/btn_0" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/btn_ac" />
</selector>
However, I can't set background for ImageButton. The error like this:
All you have to do it to add the "android:background" attribut to your ImageButton and set a drawable.
Your layout
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/my_btn"
android:background="#drawable/btn_drawable"/>
btn_drawable.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/blue"
/>
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/white"
/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/green" />
</selector>
In that code above you set a different drawable when your ImageButton is pressed (state_pressed), focused (state_focus) or when is normal (not pressed and not focused).
Here you can find with more detail.
Create a drawable like below and name it as btn_drawable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_enabled="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/btn_disable" />
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/btn_click" />
</selector>
This is for an example,Like this you can add the <item/> according to your needs and state of the image button.
Then set the drawable as image button background.
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/btn_drawable"/>

XML drawable composed of png and overlay

I have a png button, which is enabled, non-pressed. When user click the button, I want only to darken the png. I need something like this:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
//normal button with background my_button.png
<item
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/my_button" //my_button.png
/>
//pressed button with background my_button.png overlayed by 50% black
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/my_button"/>
<color android:color="#00000088"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</item>
</selector>
Is there some way how to do that? Or do I must have another png file?
In my_button_bg.xml:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_pressed" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_normal"/>
</selector>
button_normal is a png
button_pressed is an xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_normal"/>
<item android:drawable="#color/btn_bg_pressed_mask"/>
</layer-list>
where btn_bg_pressed_mask is a color:
<color name="btn_bg_pressed_mask">#19000000</color>
This should work
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/my_button" />
<item>
<selector>
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true">
<color android:color="#00000088" />
</item>
</selector>
</item>
</layer-list>
The order of the items in the selector XML make a difference. The first match is what is going to get displayed. As you see in marmor's answer, the normal state of the button is listed at the end.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are using 9-patch images (.9.png), the color will only be applied to the content area. So if you want the color to be overlayed over the whole image, make sure to mark the whole image as the content area.

customize toggle button on Android

I customized the Toggle button by using a drawable defined by using a selector. I use this drawable as background for the Toggle button.
<ToggleButton
android:id="#+id/mailbox:toggle_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/toggle_background"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical" />
The toggle_background is defined here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/img1"
android:state_checked="true" />
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/img2"
android:state_checked="false" />
</selector>
The problem is that the image is always stretched. Is there a way to define an image for the two states that is not stretched?
What I need is a background that will be stretched and in the center of the button an icon that must not be stretched.
Is it possible?
This is my final solution.
In the layout:
<ToggleButton
android:id="#+id/mailbox:toggle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/toggle_drawable_layers"/>
in the toggle_drawable_layers.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/toggle_drawable_bkg"></item>
<item android:left="10dp" android:drawable="#drawable/toggle_drawable_left"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />
</layer-list>
in the toggle_drawable_left.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/bitmap_checked"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />
</item>
<item android:state_checked="false">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/bitmap_unchecked"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />
</item>
</selector>
I did the same task this way, the button:
<ToggleButton android:id="#+id/mlAbout"
android:textOn="#string/about"
android:textOff="#string/about"
android:background="#drawable/ml_about" />
#drawable/ml_about:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/list_bg_top"></item>
<item android:left="10dp">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/waiting_status_btn"
android:gravity="center_vertical|left" />
</item>
</layer-list>
#drawable/list_bg_top background image that will be stretched and #drawable/waiting_status_btn is the icon the will not be stretched with the widget
Just use bitmaps instead of drawables in your selector like so (no need to use layers):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/img1"
android:state_checked="true" />
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/img2"
android:state_checked="false" />
</selector>
Also, don't forget to declare
android:textOff=""
android:textOn=""
in your ToggleButton declaration
There is another way to overcome the issue of stretching:
Just convert the image into a Nine-Patch image, where the stretchable areas are just on all sides of the image.
Then Android will stretch the image only in invisible areas, and keep the visible image unchanged.
