Question

Is there any way to animate a button in Android so that when you click it it changes the background of the button to a pressed image?

I’m only using the background property to show the image on the form button.

Use this XML: save it in drawable folder and set as the background drawable.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/category_listing_bg_img" /> 
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/category_listing_bg_img_pressed" /> 
</selector>
