Crop imageButton in the shape of the background android


enter image description here

As you can see in the image, the ImageButton has the background of a "settings icon" but it's considered a rectangle. I want it to be cropped in the shape of the icon so the ripple effect will be only on the icon itself and won't continue outside of the icon bounds (like in this tutorial (fourth Ex) but with the custom shape).
(the same problem appears for using elevation which makes the shadow to be rectangular and not around the background).
How can I achieve it?

My code:

  <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
  tools:context=".MainActivity">

  <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="80dp"
        android:layout_height="80dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
        android:outlineProvider="background"

        android:background="@drawable/ic_settings_black_24dp"
        android:backgroundTint="#c0c0c0"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

ic_settings_black_24dp.xml (from Vector Asset Studio):

Solution

  • You can set your vector as item in ripple effect resource

    ic_settings_black_24dp.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:width="24dp"
        android:height="24dp"
        android:viewportWidth="24"
        android:viewportHeight="24">
        <path
            android:fillColor="#c0c0c0"
            android:pathData="M19.1,12.9a2.8,2.8 0,0 0,0.1 -0.9,2.8 2.8,0 0,0 -0.1,-0.9l2.1,-1.6a0.7,0.7 0,0 0,0.1 -0.6L19.4,5.5a0.7,0.7 0,0 0,-0.6 -0.2l-2.4,1a6.5,6.5 0,0 0,-1.6 -0.9l-0.4,-2.6a0.5,0.5 0,0 0,-0.5 -0.4H10.1a0.5,0.5 0,0 0,-0.5 0.4L9.3,5.4a5.6,5.6 0,0 0,-1.7 0.9l-2.4,-1a0.4,0.4 0,0 0,-0.5 0.2l-2,3.4c-0.1,0.2 0,0.4 0.2,0.6l2,1.6a2.8,2.8 0,0 0,-0.1 0.9,2.8 2.8,0 0,0 0.1,0.9L2.8,14.5a0.7,0.7 0,0 0,-0.1 0.6l1.9,3.4a0.7,0.7 0,0 0,0.6 0.2l2.4,-1a6.5,6.5 0,0 0,1.6 0.9l0.4,2.6a0.5,0.5 0,0 0,0.5 0.4h3.8a0.5,0.5 0,0 0,0.5 -0.4l0.3,-2.6a5.6,5.6 0,0 0,1.7 -0.9l2.4,1a0.4,0.4 0,0 0,0.5 -0.2l2,-3.4c0.1,-0.2 0,-0.4 -0.2,-0.6ZM12,15.6A3.6,3.6 0,1 1,15.6 12,3.6 3.6,0 0,1 12,15.6Z"/>
    
    </vector>
    

    You can set ripple effect color here
    ripple_settings.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:color="#fff000" // set Color of ripple effect
        android:exitFadeDuration="500">
        <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_settings_black_24dp" />
    </ripple>
    

    activity_main.xml

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">
    
        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/button"
            android:layout_width="80dp"
            android:layout_height="80dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
            android:background="@drawable/ic_settings_black_24dp"
            android:foreground="@drawable/ripple_settings"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
    
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
