Question

this is an easy question,

in my xml file i have :

<Button
android:id="@+id/button_8"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/Bf"
android:background="@drawable/button_purple" 
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:onClick="action"            
/>

And in my activity i have that :

public void action (View v)
{
    s = "m";
    changeCouleur("blue");
    v.setPressed(true);
}

When i pressed the button it’s working but the button don’t stay pressed.

I don’t use an image this is what i use for the color :

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" >
        <shape>
            <solid
                android:color="#449def" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#2f6699" />
            <corners
                android:radius="3dp" />
            <padding
                android:left="10dp"
                android:top="10dp"
                android:right="10dp"
                android:bottom="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_focused="true" >
        <shape>
            <solid
                android:color="#449def" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#2f6699" />
            <corners
                android:radius="3dp" />
            <padding
                android:left="10dp"
                android:top="10dp"
                android:right="10dp"
                android:bottom="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <shape>
            <gradient
                android:startColor="#449def"
                android:endColor="#2f6699"
                android:angle="270" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#2f6699" />
            <corners
                android:radius="4dp" />
            <padding
                android:left="10dp"
                android:top="10dp"
                android:right="10dp"
                android:bottom="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

Thanks in advance if you noticed something wrong.
Please anyone have any idea ?

Answer 1

From what I understand is that you are trying to use a button to turn a state off/on, also the button’s state will clearly indicate the feature’s state.

If I am correct then use custom check box. You will have to anyways define selector for different states of checkbox (as mentioned by user1071979).
