Wondering how can I change my button background programmatically by setting onClickListener
.
I mean that when I firstly pressed my button it changes its background image and save it even if I release finger from it. And then if i press it the second time it must change background image again. I know that I must check what background is there at the moment but can't understand how to do it.
I've tried use getBackground
method but it wasn't helpful for me. I even tried to create an XML file with selector which contains three state of my button, but it worked only until the moment I release finger from button.
You could have a global variable storing the background int:
private int backgroundNumber = 0;
Then, in onClick() you could do something like this:
backgroundNumber++;
switch (backgroundNumber % numberOfBackgrounds) { // numberOfBackgrounds is a constant of how many backgrounds there are
case 1:
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.background1);
break;
// Do cases for all the backgrounds
}
I think that should work.
Try like this.
You know how many states you have. Use an int variable (lest say buttonState) to save button state (ex. states 1,2,3. MAX_STATE = 3).
On click just change state and replace background depending on the current buttonState variable value.
@Click(R.id.button_action)
void onButtonActionClicked() {
buttonState = ++buttonState % BTN_STATE_MAX;
switch (buttonState){
case BTN_SAVE:
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_save);
break;
case BTN_LOAD:
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_load);
break;
case BTN_DELETE:
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_delete);
break;
}
}
