How to Change color of Button in Android when Clic

Question

I am working on Android Application. I want to have 4 buttons to be placed horizontally at the bottom of the screen. In these 4 buttons 2 buttons are having images on them. The border of the buttons should be black color and the border should be as thin as possible. When I click the button, I want the background of the button should be changed to blue color without the color of border to be changed and should be remained in that color for some time. How can I achieve this scenario in Android?

Answer 1

Try This

    final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id);
    button.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
            if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                button.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
            } else if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                button.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
            }
            return false;
        }

    });

Answer 2

Refer this,

boolean check = false;
Button backward_img;
Button backward_img1;
backward_img = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bars_footer_backward);
backward_img1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bars_footer_backward1);
backward_img.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        check = true;
        backward_img.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
    }
});

if (check == true) {
    backward_img1.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
    backward_img.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
}

you can try this code to solve your problem

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_pressed="true"
   android:drawable="@drawable/login_selected" /> <!-- pressed -->
  <item android:state_focused="true"
   android:drawable="@drawable/login_mouse_over" /> <!-- focused -->
  <item android:drawable="@drawable/login" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

write this code in your drawable make a new resource and name it what you want and then write the name of this drwable in the button same as we refer to image src in android

Answer 4

hai the most easiest way is this:

add this code to mainactivity.java

public void start(View view) {

  stop.setBackgroundResource(R.color.red);
 start.setBackgroundResource(R.color.yellow);
}

public void stop(View view) {
stop.setBackgroundResource(R.color.yellow);
start.setBackgroundResource(R.color.red);
}

and then in your activity main

    <button android:id="@+id/start" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:onclick="start" android:text="Click">

</button><button android:id="@+id/stop" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:onclick="stop" android:text="Click">

Save this code in drawable folder with "bg_button.xml" and call "@drawable/bg_button" as background of button in your xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" >
        <shape>
            <solid
                android:color="#004F81" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#222222" />
            <corners
                android:radius="7dp" />
            <padding
                android:left="10dp"
                android:top="10dp"
                android:right="10dp"
                android:bottom="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <shape>
            <gradient
                android:startColor="#89cbee"
                android:endColor="#004F81"
                android:angle="270" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#4aa5d4" />
            <corners
                android:radius="7dp" />
            <padding
                android:left="10dp"
                android:top="10dp"
                android:right="10dp"
                android:bottom="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
