Add custom shape ripple with selector on navigationview menu item


I want to add a ripple effect with rounded corners rectangle with a selector for navigation view item. But it keeps adding the gray rectangle ripple effect.

navigation view

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
    app:itemIconTint="@color/drawer_item"
    app:itemTextColor="@color/drawer_item"
    app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_item_bg"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_app_bar_menu"/>

drawer_item_bg.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/drawer_selected_item_bg"/>
<item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/custom_ripple_navitem"/>
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@drawable/custom_ripple_navitem"/>
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/custom_ripple_navitem"/>

custom_ripple_navitem.xml

<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#360074FF">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
    </shape>
</item>

The result is

Solution

  • "Solution"

    I started experimenting with ripple effect when I found this question, and after some time I finished with this code.

    Note: It is not real ripple effect, just a fake one. Let me know if you'll make an improved version of it.

    @layout/your_layout.xml

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        ...
        android:theme="@style/Widget_NavigationItem_NoRipple"
        app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_item_background"/>
    

    @values/styles.xml

    <style name="Widget_NavigationItem_NoRipple">
        <item name="android:colorControlHighlight">@android:color/transparent</item>
    </style>
    

    @drawable/drawer_item_background.xml

    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:drawable="@drawable/drawer_item_shape" android:state_checked="true"/>
        <item android:drawable="@drawable/drawer_item_ripple" android:state_pressed="true"/>
        <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" android:state_pressed="false"/>
    </selector>
    

    @drawable/drawer_item_shape

    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item>
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
                <solid android:color="@color/selectedItemBackgroundColor"/>
            </shape>
        </item>
    </layer-list>
    

    @drawable/drawer_item_ripple

    <ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:color="@android:color/transparent">
        <item>
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
                <solid android:color="?attr/colorControlHighlight"/>
            </shape>
        </item>
    </ripple>
