In this simple game I want to change the background color of the button that I press. But I get the following result, the buttons appearance becomes not good (the shape becomes di

Solution 1:

pressedButton.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.RED, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

Solution 2:

create selector file any name like button_selector.xml in drawable folder

Edited with Gradient

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selectorxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ><itemandroid:state_pressed="true"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><cornersandroid:radius="5dp"/><gradientandroid:startColor="#ad1c1c"android:endColor="#cc3737"android:angle="90"/><paddingandroid:left="10.0dip"android:top="10.0dip"android:right="10.0dip"android:bottom="10.0dip"/><strokeandroid:width="1.0dip"android:color="#7d0000"/></shape></item><itemandroid:state_pressed="false"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><cornersandroid:radius="5dp"/><gradientandroid:startColor="#cfcfcf"android:endColor="#ebebeb"android:angle="90"/><paddingandroid:left="10.0dip"android:top="10.0dip"android:right="10.0dip"android:bottom="10.0dip"/><strokeandroid:width="1.0dip"android:color="#8f8f8f"/></shape></item></selector>

then set in button background

<Button
    android:background="@drawable/button_selector"
/>

Solution 3:

As @pratik said save this button.xml in drawable folder

button.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selectorxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ><itemandroid:state_pressed="true"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><cornersandroid:radius="5dp"/><solidandroid:color="#f00"/><paddingandroid:left="10.0dip"android:top="10.0dip"android:right="10.0dip"android:bottom="10.0dip"/><strokeandroid:width="1.0dip"android:color="#222"/></shape></item><itemandroid:state_pressed="false"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><cornersandroid:radius="5dp"/><solidandroid:color="#f1f1f1"/><paddingandroid:left="10.0dip"android:top="10.0dip"android:right="10.0dip"android:bottom="10.0dip"/><strokeandroid:width="1.0dip"android:color="#222"/></shape></item></selector>

Apply this button as background

<Button
    android:background="@drawable/button"/>

and in your class file do like this

publicvoidonClick(View v) {

  pressedButton.setPressed(true);
}

so that the red color will be stable

Solution 4:

try this :

you have create like this in the ImageButton xml

create xml file using the button image like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selectorxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><itemandroid:state_pressed="true"android:drawable="@drawable/backbutton" /><itemandroid:drawable="@drawable/closebutton" /></selector>

add that xml file as background for IMageButton

<ImageButton                 
android:layout_height="50px" 
android:layout_width="50px" 
android:id="@+id/settings" 
android:background="@drawable/settings_button" //setting_button in
                                                     the xml file            
android:text="Settings"/>
