Just in case I wasn't clear in what I wanted, let me try again.
I basically want to accomplish the same effect as the latest GMail app
does with its buttons at the bottom of the main Activity. If you click
on the "Compose" button, it is highlighted in blue while it is
pressed. My question is whether this is possible with a selector and a
single actual image of the icon, or whether I necessarily need as many
images as I have different backgrounds.
Again, I realize that the selector itself requires separate images for
each state, but my drawables in that case are simple... For example:
<?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>
It is much easier to create multiple such drawables for changing the
background as long as there is a single icon image that can be applied
on top of the changing background. Hopefully this is more clear.
Thanks again for your help.
