Question

I’m developing and Android app. I have a main menu with lots of imagebuttons, each of which takes the user to a new view on click.

The problem I’m having is that surrounding each icon is a tinted rectangle that changes to a light blue colour when tapped. How do I remove this transparent square in the .xml layout file?

Many thanks in advance,

Answer 1

they probably have the default background from the android system. to remove that, define a transparent color

<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

and then use it as background in your buttons

<ImageButton android:src="@drawable/button"
             android:background="@color/transparent"/>

I think it will work the way you want
