How to put a custom .psd button in android layout?

Question

I have a .psd file and I want to use it as a button in my app. I also have the pressed version of that button. How can I put it in the layout and make it to show the pressed state when the button is clicked?

As far as my knowledge goes android does not support .psd. Convert it to a jpg or png and you will be golden.

Here is a list and more information on what formats android supports https://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

And here is a quick way to change the button:

You need two images (image1 and image2) in the drawable folder and then change between them like this

Button b1;
ImageView iw;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

   b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
   b1.setOnClickListener(this); 

   iw = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image1);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if (v == b1)
    {
        iw.setImageResource(R.drawable.image2);
    }

}

}

Hope this helps a bit
