Question

I have a custom button, but for the focused,pressed,selected state I wanna have the default Android orange selected state rather than make new custom images for those states.

How am I able to achieve that? What should I write on the selector for those states?

Answer 1

I am sure you want to implement that default orange color image inside your custom selector file, if this is the case then you can know the name of all the in-built drawable files used by system, from here you can know: Android Drawables

Some of button default images names are:

1. btn_default_pressed.9
2. btn_default_selected.9
3. btn_default_small_pressed.9
4. btn_default_small_selected.9

so now copy the 9-patch images inside the res/drawable folder and use it wherever you want.
