By default android checkbox shows
text at right side and checkbox at left
I want to show checkbox at right side with text at left
how do I achieve this?
I think it's too late to answer this question, but actually there is a way to achieve your goal. You just need to add the following line to your checkbox:
android:button="#null"
android:drawableRight="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"
You can use your customized drawable for checkbox as well.
And for a radioButton:
android:button="#null"
android:drawableRight="#android:drawable/btn_radio"
And if you want to do it programmatically:
Define a layout and name it RightCheckBox and copy the following lines :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheckBox xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:text="hello"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:button="#null"
android:drawableRight="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"/>
and when you need to add it programmatically you just need to inflate it to a CheckBox and add it to the root view.
CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)((LayoutInflater)getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.check_right_checkbox,null);
rootView.addView(cb);
You can do
<CheckBox
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right|center"//or "center_vertical" for center text
android:layoutDirection="rtl"
android:text="hello" />
Following line is enough
android:layoutDirection="rtl"
You can add android:layoutDirection="rtl" but it's only available with API 17.
I can't think of a way with the styling, but you could just set the text of the checkbox to nothing, and put a TextView to the left of the checkbox with your desired text.
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layoutDirection="rtl"
android:text="text" />`
Just copy this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Your text:"/>
<CheckBox
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checked="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Happy codding! :)
Checkbox text may be not aligning to left with
android:button="#null"
android:drawableRight="#android:drawable/btn_radio"
in some device. Can use CheckedTextView as a replacement to avoid the problem,
<CheckedTextView
...
android:checkMark="#android:drawable/btn_radio" />
and this link will be helpful: Align text left, checkbox right
As suggested by #The Berga You can add android:layoutDirection="rtl" but it's only available with API 17.
for dynamic implementation, here it goes
chkBox.setLayoutDirection(View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL);
You can use checkedTextView instead.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/CheckedTextView.html
furthermore from Hazhir imput, for this issue is necessary inject that property in the checkbox xml configuration android:paddingLeft="0dp", this is for avoid the empty space at the checkbox left side.
Adding another answer to this question that uses CheckedTextView If anyone is trying to do it programatically. It also has the option of using custom images for checkbox. And can be done in a single View
final CheckedTextView checkBox = new CheckedTextView(getApplicationContext());
checkBox.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
checkBox.setId(1);
checkBox.setCheckMarkDrawable(android.R.drawable.checkbox_off_background);
checkBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (checkBox.isChecked()){
checkBox.setChecked(false);
checkBox.setCheckMarkDrawable(android.R.drawable.checkbox_off_background);
}else{
checkBox.setChecked(true);
checkBox.setCheckMarkDrawable(android.R.drawable.checkbox_on_background);
}
}
});
checkBox.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
checkBox.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
checkBox.setText("hi");
From XML if you want to initiate -
<CheckedTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checkMark="#android:drawable/checkbox_off_background"
android:checked="false"
android:text="Hi from xml"/>
If it is not mandatory to use a CheckBox you could just use a Switch instead. A Switch shows the text on the left side by default.
The following link demonstrates how to render seveveral Standard Android view objects with an animated checkbox on the right by setting the right drawable.
Set the background to get a ripple effect.

The simplest solution that I use:
checkBox.setLayoutDirection(getResources().getConfiguration().getLayoutDirection() == View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR ? View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL : View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR);
Tip:
If you want to make CheckBox on the right side so it is better for the text to be from left to right such as English, Spanish, and Italian.
Also If you want to make CheckBox on the left side so it is better for the text to be from right to left such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi.
You can use this also,
<CheckBox
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layoutDirection="rtl"
android:drawablePadding="#dimen/padding_5"
android:drawableEnd="#drawable/ic_english"
android:button="#drawable/language_selector"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="#string/location_permissions"
android:textAppearance="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Medium"
android:textColor="#android:color/black" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/location_permission_checkbox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:onClick="onLocationPermissionClicked" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Iam designing a food ordering page, so i need to use small button to add the food on cart.The problem was when i giving 24dp width and height the button size reduces but i cant able to add the text("+" "-").
I have tried
android:minWidth="0dp"
android:minHeight="0dp"
style="?android:attr/negativeButtonText"
<android.support.design.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/incrementButtton"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="center"
android:minWidth="0dp"
android:minHeight="0dp"
android:text="+"
android:textColor="#color/ash"
android:textSize="#dimen/fm_food_price_text_size" />
I want to know how to set button 24dp and show "+" text. as like below image.
In this image i used textView, so text is visibile. I want this by using button.
Try this way. This is much more efficient
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="#dimen/_dp_85"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_dp_35"
android:id="#+id/quantityviewer"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/productName"
android:background="#drawable/quantity"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/productName">
<TextView
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:text="#string/_1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/quantity"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/increase"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/decrease"
/>
<ImageView
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/quantityviewer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/decrease"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/quantity"
android:src="#drawable/ic_minus"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/quantityviewer"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/quantityviewer"
android:contentDescription="#string/todo"
/>
<ImageView
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/quantityviewer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_plus"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/increase"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/quantityviewer"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/quantityviewer"
android:contentDescription="#string/todo" app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/quantity"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
quantitiy.xml(shape of the layout)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="#+id/listview_background_shape">
<corners android:radius="#dimen/_dp_5" />
<stroke
android:width="#dimen/_dp_1"
android:color="#color/quantitystokecolor" />
</shape>
I have solved by using ImageButton instead of button.
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/incrementButtton"
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:padding="8dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:src="#drawable/ic_minus_symbol"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
/>
for ripple effect i used
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
I'd like to put attach file icon into EditText for example how it was made into WhatsApp. How can I do it?
That is not a custom EditBox. Here EditText is wrapped with parent view with other ImageViews.
In whatsapp example there is a Imogi ImageView, An EditText, An Attach ImageView, and a camera ImageView inside a LinearLayout. And parent LinearLayout is having round corner background.
You can also use Drawable left and Drawable right, but I will not suggest that because that does not have much control.
Just a suggestion:
I always want to save time. Here is an whatsapp clone, you can just pull it and use its views.
https://github.com/Shahar2k5/whatsappClone
This guy has done good work in this library.
Use drawableRight attribute in EditText
<EditText
android:id="#+id/account_et"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/icon_backall" //your drawable which you want to use
android:ems="10"
android:hint="#string/str_md_email"
android:padding="10dp" >
</EditText>
You have to manage like below image :
For above UI design code is below :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:background="#drawable/stockbg"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_sendMeassage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:maxLines="4"
android:backgroundTint="#android:color/transparent"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/_10sdp"
android:textSize="#dimen/normal_input_text_size" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_send"
android:layout_weight="6"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="#dimen/_40sdp"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_20sdp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/ic_next_arrow"
android:tint="#color/color_gray" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I'd like to put attach file icon into EditText for example how it was made into WhatsApp.
if you want to add icon in EditText you can use
android:drawableStart=""
android:drawableEnd=""
android:drawableTop=""
android:drawableLeft=""
android:drawableRight=""
how it was made into WhatsApp. How can I do it?
That is not Custom Edittext
You need to wrap your ImageView and EditText in side a ViewGroup like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout
SAMPLE CODE
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/test"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_camera" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_camera" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_camera" />
</LinearLayout>
android:background="#drawable/test"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
<corners android:radius="25dp" />
</shape>
OUTPUT
You need to put edittext and attach icon in layout (according to your need) and set rounded background to parent layout
like this
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/sendLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#color/roundedbg"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/attachFile"
android:background="#null"
android:padding="#dimen/five_dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/attachFile"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
roundedbg.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
<corners android:radius="10dp"/>
<padding android:left="0dp" android:top="0dp" android:right="0dp" android:bottom="0dp" />
</shape>
better you use wrap edittext and imageview in relative layout like below
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#drawable/custom_edittext"
android:hint="Password"
android:minLines="10"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
tools:ignore="MissingPrefix" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ivPasswordToggle"
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:background="#drawable/ic_remove_red_eye_black_24dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
output :
in java code use click on imageview
Is there an easy way to place a TextView on top of ImageView?
My code:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:src="#drawable/finaloval"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:id="#+id/greencircleId"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:textSize="40sp"
android:textColor="#color/colorAccent" />
Example Image
The green circle would be my #drawable/finaloval. And the %100 organic would be the TextView.
<TextView android:id="#+id/tv_versionstatus"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawablePadding="5dp"
android:drawableBottom="#drawable/icon_new"
android:text="text"
android:textColor="#363636"
android:textSize="20sp" />
drawableBottom is also a choise for you
Please try to set the background for the layout and place your textviews inside that , i have coded it as per the image you shared in it example
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/finaloval">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="100% natural"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:id="#+id/natural"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textColor="#color/colorAccent" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="organic"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:layout_below="#id/"
android:id="#+id/natural"
android:textSize="40sp"
android:textColor="#color/colorAccent" />
</RelativeLayout>
try this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:src="#drawable/finaloval"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:elevation="10dp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text"
android:textSize="40sp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textColor="#color/text_black" />
</FrameLayout>
Just use a LinearLayout as root and re-sequence your views from top to bottom, meaning in your case should be TextView then ImageView.
Edited based on comment
To do overlap of views, you can use RelativeLayout or FrameLayout as suggested by others.
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:textSize="40sp"
android:textColor="#color/colorAccent" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:src="#drawable/finaloval"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:id="#+id/greencircleId"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Think this is the simplest way of doing. Hope this helps
Try to set the imageview as the background of the textview.
Do you want to put some words upon a image or a sharp drawable?
I'll use a shape drawable to make an example.
Now I have a shape like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval"
>
<size
android:height="100dp"
android:width="100dp"
/>
<solid
android:color="#66ccff"
/>
</shape>
Then set it as the background of a textview in a layout xml.
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/circle"
android:text="Hello World!"
/>
That looks like it. It's a 100dp*100dp one.
100*100
And try to modify the width and height of the textview.
<TextView
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle"
android:text="Hello World!"
/>
Now it looks like this. A Lot Larger.
200*200
So the conclusion is:
Change the size of drawable and use wrap_content in the layout xml.
Change "layout_width" and "layout_height" in the layout xml.
But if you want to use the smaller one or the lager one, maybe you should add some control codes in the control java file.
(Sorry I'm not in a English-spoken country so maybe my words is not clear enough)
I'm sorry that I didn't obverse the rules before answer (cuz it's my first answer).
I'm writing an app that will have 60 checkboxes, numbered 1-60.
My goal is to achieve something like this:
Is there a way to achieve this without having to draw 60 .png files with the number inside? Could I draw only the edges and add the numbers as a text property of the button?
I tried customizing a ToggleButton (got the idea from here)
<ToggleButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:button="#drawable/toggle_selector"
android:background="#null"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:textOn="60"
android:textOff="60" />
toogle_selector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_checked="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/checked" />
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/not_checked" />
</selector>
but as a result, the text was placed at the right of the button. Is it possible to place the text on top of the image?
You can do it with relative layout with textview on top of Toggle button like this. Replace margins and size as per your need
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/background_floating_material_dark"
tools:context="com.contag.app.fragment.NavDrawerFragment">
<ToggleButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:button="#drawable/toggle_selector"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:gravity="center"
android:textOn="#null"
android:textOff="#null"
android:minHeight="0dp"
android:minWidth="0dp"
android:id="#+id/toggleButton"
android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
android:layout_marginStart="156dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="60"
android:textColor="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/toggleButton"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/toggleButton"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/toggleButton"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/toggleButton"
android:gravity="center" />
</RelativeLayout>
I was wondering how I put an image to a button.
I have tried to use "android:icon="#drawable/search.png"
and I add this image to the drawable-hdpi folder but the image doesn't show up. I am developing an application for the nexus 4 so I don't know what size the image should be. The image I am trying to add is a normal search icon used in the contact manager of the nexus 4.
The code I have written so far.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_group_coworkers"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Coworkers"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_group_family"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Family"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_group_friends"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Friends"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/Button1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.70"
android:icon="#drawable/search.png" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/Button2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="addGroup"
android:icon="#drawable/addgroup.png"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/Button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.11"
android:text="#string/Button3" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/Button2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="addGroup"
android:text="TEXT"
android:background="#drawable/addgroup"/>
To add background and image and text at the same time.
Just replace
android:background="#drawable/addgroup"
with
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/addgroup"
android:text="TEXT"
You can also use attributes in your Button Layout with properties defining image source to placed inside the button
android:drawableLeft
android:drawableRight
android:drawableBottom
android:drawableTop
use the attribute
android:background="#drawable/...."
You can set the background of the Button using :
android:background="#drawable/..."
Please make drawable folder in res and create buttonanimation.xml in drawable folder
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/add_incident_resetfocus" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/add_incident_resetfocus" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/add_incident_resetfocus" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/add_incident_reset" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false"/>
</selector>
And use this buttonanimation in layout button background.
<Button
android:id="#+id/reset_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/buttonanimation"
/>
