See http   developer android com reference android R attr html state above anchor for a list of available states   If you want to set colors for disabled  unfocused  unchecked states etc  just negate the states   int     states   new int           new int     android R attr state enabled      enabled     new int    -android R attr state enabled      disabled     new int    -android R attr state checked      unchecked     new int     android R attr state pressed      pressed     int   colors   new int         Color BLACK      Color RED      Color GREEN      Color BLUE     ColorStateList myList   new ColorStateList states  colors

The first dimension is an array of state sets  the second ist the state set itself  The colors array lists the colors for each matching state set  therefore the length of the colors array has to match the first dimension of the states array  or it will crash when the state is  used    Here and example   ColorStateList myColorStateList   new ColorStateList                          new int                                      new int   android R attr state pressed     1                                 new int   android R attr state focused     2                                 new int   android R attr state focused  android R attr state pressed    3                                                    new int                                 Color RED    1                             Color GREEN    2                             Color BLUE   3                                                    hope this helps   EDIT example  a xml color state list like    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt item android state pressed  true  android color   color white   gt       lt item android color   color black   gt   lt  selector gt    would look like this  ColorStateList myColorStateList   new ColorStateList          new int                      new int   android R attr state pressed                   new int                        new int                     context getResources   getColor R color white                   context getResources   getColor R color black

Unfortunately none of the solutions works for me     If you don t set pressed state at first it won t detect it  If you set it  then you need to define empty state to add default color     ColorStateList themeColorStateList   new ColorStateList          new int                      new int   android R attr state pressed                   new int   android R attr state enabled                   new int   android R attr state focused  android R attr state pressed                   new int   -android R attr state enabled                   new int        this should be empty to make default color as we want                    new int                    pressedFontColor                  defaultFontColor                  pressedFontColor                  disabledFontColor                  defaultFontColor                This is constructor from source code          Creates a ColorStateList that returns the specified mapping from    states to colors      public ColorStateList int     states  int   colors        mStateSpecs   states      mColors   colors       if  states length  gt  0            mDefaultColor   colors 0            for  int i   0  i  lt  states length  i                  if  states i  length    0                    mDefaultColor   colors i

Bouncing off the answer by Jonathan Ellis  in Kotlin you can define a helper function to make the code a bit more idiomatic and easier to read  so you can write this instead  val colorList   colorStateListOf      intArrayOf -android R attr state enabled  to Color BLACK      intArrayOf android R attr state enabled  to Color RED     colorStateListOf can be implemented like this  fun colorStateListOf vararg mapping  Pair lt IntArray  Int gt    ColorStateList       val  states  colors    mapping unzip       return ColorStateList states toTypedArray    colors toIntArray       I also have  fun colorStateListOf  ColorInt color  Int   ColorStateList       return ColorStateList valueOf color     So that I can call the same function name  no matter if it s a selector or single color
