My button consists of only letters. Every time i press it, it has a black background. How do i disable the black background? I don´t want to change the color, i want to disable the pressed state.
You need to create selector under drawable folder and set color or image over there for different sates of the button.
I have created one sample application for you and am pasting code snippet:
Code for button_selector.xml that contains selector code for button which you will need to put under drawable folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/no_box_selector" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/no_box"></item>
</selector>
You will need to put no_box_selector and no_box pngs in drawable-hdpi or any drawable folders
Code for activity_main.xml that will be your main xml that contains only one button as of now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/relRingtone"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#000000"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="@drawable/button_selector"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="Click Me"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try implementing these things and let me know if you need any further assisstance.....
All the best!!!
