I want to change the color of the action background icon when it is pressed.
I tried the following but no results:
styles.xml
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<!-- <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item> -->
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/action_item_background</item>
<item name="selectableItemBackground">@drawable/action_item_background</item>
</style>
action_item_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#FF0000"/>
</shape>
How can I achieve that?
The solution that I found was:
action_item_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#FF0000"/>
</shape>
action_item_background_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime" >
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/action_item_background" />
<item
android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
styles.xml
<style name="Theme.Styled" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/action_item_background_selector</item>
<item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/action_item_background_selector</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
//...
</style>
You must use a selector slector_action_item_background:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/action_item_background" />
<item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
Then replace it in your style
<style name="Widget.Styled.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/selector_action_item_background</item>
</style>
