Question

How to change color of the text in TextView on hover like in css with selector? I know for button to define selector with items

<item
    android:drawable="@drawable/down"
    android:state_pressed="true"
    android:state_enabled="true">
</item>
<item
    android:drawable="@drawable/up"
    android:state_focused="true"
    android:state_enabled="true">
</item>

but I need for TextView textColor, but item doesn’t recognize that attribute. Is there way to do this from xml and not from code
?

Answer 1

Add that selector as a resource file (res/color/text_color.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:color="@color/focused_text_color"/>
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/pressed_text_color" />
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/disabled_text_color" />
    <item android:color="@color/default_text_color"/>
</selector>

And use it:

android:textColor="@color/text_color"
