Hello, I am facing the following problem. I have a column of ImageButtons. When the button changes state because the user presses the button I need the both the button image and the button background to change. However at the following site I don't see how to change the background of the ImageButton when the user presses it.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageButton.html Changing the background is important because I need the image to fade into the background, and since different phones have different screen heights, I cannot make the image the same size as the button, I need the button to change size and leave the image size fixed. The ImageButton background must match the image background, but I don't see how to do this in the XML. Instead of just: <?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/button_pressed" /> <!-- pressed --> <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/button_focused" /> <!-- focused --> <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_normal" /> <!-- default --> </selector> I would like to specify the background property as well such as: <?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/button_pressed" android:background="#FF0000" /> <!-- pressed --> <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/button_focused" android:background="#00FF00" /> <!-- focused --> <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_normal" android:background="#0000FF" /> <!-- default --> </selector> I was wondering whether it is legal to specify any property pertaining to the ImageButton in its selector (such as the button's background color rather than just the image). Any ideas on how to elegantly solve the problem of having an ImageButton's background and image change simultaneously when unpressed/pressed/selected?
