Question

I have created a custom View which I usually attach an onClickListener to. I’d like to have some button like behavior: if it is pressed, it should alter its appearance which is defined in the onDraw() method. However, this code does not work:

//In my custom View:

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{

    boolean pressed = isPressed();
    //draw depending on the value of pressed
}

//when creating the view:
MyView.setClickable(true);

pressed always has the value false. What’s wrong?

Thanks a lot!

have you considered just using a button to do what you want? you could use ToggleButton and write a short selector in xml that will allow you to specify an image to use when pressed or not. this question may be of some help to you.
