[android] android button selector

You can't achieve text size change with a state list drawable. To change text color and text size do this:

Text color

To change the text color, you can create color state list resource. It will be a separate resource located in res/color/ directory. In layout xml you have to set it as the value for android:textColor attribute. The color selector will then contain something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@color/text_pressed" />
    <item android:color="@color/text_normal" />
</selector>

Text size

You can't change the size of the text simply with resources. There's no "dimen selector". You have to do it in code. And there is no straightforward solution.

Probably the easiest solution might be utilizing View.onTouchListener() and handle the up and down events accordingly. Use something like this:

view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                // change text size to the "pressed value"
                return true;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                // change text size to the "normal value"
                return true;
            default:
                return false;
            }
        }
});

A different solution might be to extend the view and override the setPressed(Boolean) method. The method is internally called when the change of the pressed state happens. Then change the size of the text accordingly in the method call (don't forget to call the super).
