I want to set the color of row in listview if selected to yellow and otherwise be white so I use the following selector
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#color/encounter_normal" />
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#color/encounter_normal" />
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="#color/encounterselector_color" />
<item
android:drawable="#color/encounter_normal" />
</selector>
where
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="encounterselector_color">#fbeda5</color>
<color name="encounter_normal">#ffffff</color>
</resources>
and I use it like the following
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:id="#+id/EncounterGrid"
android:background="#drawable/encounterlistview"
>
<!-- remaining code -->
but the row is always white , any idea how to fix that
Setting the background color with a selector is a bit tricky. Basically you have to create a drawable for each color and use them in your android:drawable attributes. You cannot directly use colors.
Check this related question for more details.
I use the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is the switched off state -->
<item android:state_enabled="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/grey_bar" />
<!-- These are the partial states -->
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_pressed" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_focused" />
<!-- This is the switched on state -->
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_normal" />
</selector>
Where all of the drawables I point to are defined in xml, or are existing 9 patch images.
use android:color on your selector and not android:drawable because you are getting reference to the color resources, so your selector will be like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#color/encounter_normal" />
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_focused="true" android:color="#color/encounter_normal" />
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_selected="true" android:color="#color/encounterselector_color" />
<item
android:color="#color/encounter_normal" />
</selector>
Nothing was working for me until I set drawSelectorOnTop = "true".
Everything worked after that.

temp_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#color/color1" />
<item android:state_selected="true" android:color="#color/color2" />
<item android:color="#color/color3" />
</selector>
And I applied it through the code below
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image)
ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(imageView, ColorStateList.valueOf(R.color.temp_selector))
I don't know why it doesn't work... What should I do?
(It has to be applied programatically. not xml.)
Use below to change color
imageView.isSelected = true
imageView.isSelected = false
Use below selector:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#color/color3" android:state_selected="false" />

Background color don't change..
What am i doing wrong ?
You don't set the drawable for the background of a Navigation View item in your styles.xml file. Open up your XML layout file containing your Navigation View widget, and add the following line to the widget's attributes:
app:itemBackground="#drawable/activated_background.xml"
If you're having trouble with the "app" pointer, add the following line in as well:
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
Note that this only changes the colour of the background of a selected list item. If you'd like the icon and text colour to change as well, use the app:itemTextColor attribute instead.
Below code works fine for me
my nav view:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:background="#color/nav.background"
app:menu="#menu/menu_drawer"
app:itemBackground="#drawable/nav_item_background"
app:itemTextColor="#drawable/nav_item_text"/>
drawable/nav_item_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#color/nav.item.background" />
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="#color/nav.item.background" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#color/nav.item.background" />
<item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="#color/nav.item.background" />
<item android:drawable="#color/nav.item.background.default" />
</selector>
drawable/nav_item_text.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#android:color/white" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:color="#bdbdbd" />
</selector>
You must use android:background="color" for back color of navigation menu
like:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
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="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:id="#+id/shitstuff"
app:itemTextColor="#color/black"
app:menu="#menu/drawermenu"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:layout_marginTop="-24dp"
/>
and for items color use itemTextColor="color"
To have the background display on your selected item you need to add
android:checkable="true"
on every item of your menu.xml items, then set :
app:itemBackground="#drawable/nav_view_item_background"
on your NavigationView and finally:
drawable/nav_view_item_background.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/primary" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:drawable="#android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
#HaloMediaz and #HemantShori
To keep the background of the selected item in a selected state,
use android:state_checked="true" instead of android:state_pressed="true" in the color state resource.
So your activated color state resource should look like this:
activated_background.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="#color/White" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#color/White" />
<item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="#color/White" />
<item android:drawable="#android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
I want to change background of a button when it is clicked. I tried to use a selector. But It didn't work. Here is the selector (add_grp_slctr.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#drawable/add_grp_d"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/add_grp_d" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/add_grp" />
</selector>
And the button :
<Button
android:id="#+id/addGrpBtn"
android:layout_width="55dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/add_grp_slctr"
android:onClick="addGrpDialogOpen" />
add_grp_d and add_grp are images(png).
I tried a similar code which will be white by default, black when pressed on an onclick of a button:
//***This is the btn_selector which is to be declared in drawable folder***
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#android:color/black" /> <!-- pressed -->
<item android:drawable="#android:color/white" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>
and called this on the button.xml -->
android:background="#drawable/btn_selector"
Hope this would help..:)
go through the http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#StateList once. Also state_focussed for button only works when you are focussing the button using a hardware-keyboard.
As for your case
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="false" android:drawable="#drawable/button_default"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_selected="false" android:drawable="#drawable/button_default" />
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="#drawable/button_selected"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="#drawable/button_selected" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_selected" />
</selector>
Use your selector
change your code like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#drawable/add_grp_d"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/add_grp" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/add_grp_d" />
</selector>
My Code
<item android:drawable="#drawable/shadow_design_click" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/shadow_design" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/shadow_design"/>
</selector>
I think you should change your selector a bit.
Check this answer here.
Instead of passing cuastom XML file, if you just want to change the color of you button then you can try with the following way.
Button lineColorCode = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
Now inside button's click event use following code.
int color = Color.parseColor("#AE6118"); //The color u want
lineColorCode.setColorFilter(color);
I am trying to very simply style a Button. I just want it blue with with text when not pressed, and white with blue text when clicked.
I tried to do this with a style and a selector.
In my layout I have this Button:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
style="#style/MyButton"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/login" />
And in res/values/styles I have this styles.xml:
<style name="MyButton">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/btn_background</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#drawable/btn_textcolor</item>
</style>
And of course, the two selectors, in res/drawable, btn_background.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#color/white" />
<item android:color="#color/SapphireBlue" />
</selector>
and btn_textcolor.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#color/SapphireBlue" />
<item android:color="#color/white" />
</selector>
The error I get now when I either run the app, or open the layout editor is:
<item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute
I understand the message, but I don't have a drawable, is it is a simple, flat button.
How can I create such a simple button?
Update according to this post, it should work.
Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
btn_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/white" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/white" android:state_focused="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/SapphireBlue" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/white" android:state_enabled="false"></item>
</selector>
btn_textcolor.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#color/SapphireBlue" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:color="#drawable/SapphireBlue" android:state_focused="true"></item>
<item android:color="#drawable/white" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false"></item>
<item android:color="#drawable/SapphireBlue" android:state_enabled="false"></item>
</selector>
Background attribute expects a drawable and the drawable selector must be in one of the /drawable folders.
TextColor attribute expects a color and the color selector must be in one of the /color folders.
/res/color/my_textcolor_selctor.xml
/res/drawable/my_background_selector.xml
Also, the drawable selector must use 'android:drawable' for selector items (a color resource maybe used for the attribute value since a color is a drawable),
whereas the color selector must use 'android:color' for the selector items.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_enabled="false"
android:drawable="#color/disabledbackgroundColor" />
<!-- default -->
<item android:drawable="#color/myBackgroundColor" />
</selector>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_enabled="false"
android:color="#color/disabledColor" />
<!-- default -->
<item android:color="#color/defaultColor" />
</selector>
android:background seems to accept drawable selectors but not color selectors... so just leave a color as your android:background, and use a normal color selector with android:backgroundTint, which expects colors anyway:
at styles.xml:
<style name="MyButton">
<item name="android:background">#color/some_fixed_color</item>
<item name="android:backgroundTint">#color/background_color_selector</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#drawable/btn_textcolor</item>
</style>
(res/color/background_color_selector.xml is a normal color selector.)
I want to customize the selection effect of the items in the listView, but I don't know the way.
Will be useful if I should change the selection item background with a different png when the user select the item.
Any suggestion?
Use a selector for this:
<ListView android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:divider="#null"
android:dividerHeight="0dip"
android:listSelector="#drawable/list_selector" />
the selector:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/yourdrawable" />
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/yourdrawable" />
<item android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/yourdrawable" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/yourdrawable" />
</selector>
Here is a good tutorial for it.
What you are looking for is selector
Create a selector xml in res and set the background for the list item to the selector xml.
Example:
<?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/selected" />
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/normal" />
</selector>
