Android Button Highlight

In android, we can highlight the button through custom images. Here is a example that will give you about how to set a image when the button is focused, pressed and focused pressed. we can set each image for each stage.
Example for Android Button Highlight :-

01<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

02<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"

03android:layout_width="fill_parent"

04android:layout_height="fill_parent"

05xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

06// Adding Button to Layout

07<Button android:id="@+id/Button01"

08android:background="@drawable/buttonhighlight"

09android:layout_height="60px"

10android:layout_width="100px"></Button>

11</LinearLayout>

Here “@drawable/buttonhighlight” is a XML file located in res/drawable folder. (see below image blue color highlighted)

Create a XML file in res/drawable folder (ex:- buttonhighlight.xml) and write the code as

01<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

02<selectorxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

03// Button Focused

04    <item android:state_focused="true"

05    android:state_pressed="false"

06    android:drawable="@drawable/buttonhighlightfocused" />

07// Button Focused Pressed

08    <item android:state_focused="true"

09    android:state_pressed="true"

10    android:drawable="@drawable/buttonhighlightpressed" />
