How can I give an imageview click effect like a button on Android

Question

I have imageview in my Android app that I am using like a button with the onClick event given  but as you might guess it is not giving imageview a clickable effect when clicked  How can I achieve that

You can Override setPressed in the ImageView and do the color filtering there  instead of creating onTouchEvent listeners     Override public void setPressed boolean pressed        super setPressed pressed        if getDrawable      null          return       if pressed            getDrawable   setColorFilter 0x44000000  PorterDuff Mode SRC ATOP           invalidate              else           getDrawable   clearColorFilter            invalidate

I have a more beauty solution if you use background images     public static void blackButton View button       button setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener              public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event                switch  event getAction                      case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                        v getBackground   setColorFilter 0xf0f47521 PorterDuff Mode SRC ATOP                       v invalidate                        break                                    case MotionEvent ACTION UP                        v getBackground   clearColorFilter                        v invalidate                        break                                              return false

Here s my solution  which  using  nineOldAndroids  library  supports old APIs too   rootView setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener           Override     public boolean onTouch final View v  final MotionEvent event             switch  event getAction                   case MotionEvent ACTION UP              case MotionEvent ACTION CANCEL                  v setBackgroundResource R drawable listview normal                   ViewHelper setAlpha imageView  1                   break               case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                  v setBackgroundResource 0                   v setBackgroundColor getResources   getColor R color listview pressed                    ViewHelper setAlpha imageView  0 75f                   break                    return false              It assumes the rootView is the cell itself  the layout   and that it has a single imageView that you wish to be affected by the color that you wish to apply to the whole cell     EDIT  if you wish  you can also extend ImageView to handle foreground  and set it to   android attr selectableItemBackground   There is a library for this here and a tutorial on how to do it for any view you wish  here

I think the easiest way is creating a new XML file  In this case  let s call it  example xml  in the drawable folder  and put in the follow code    lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt item android drawable   color blue            android state pressed  true    gt    lt  selector gt    But before that you have to set the colors in the colors xml file  in the values folder  like this    lt resources gt       lt color name  blue  gt  0000FF lt  color gt   lt  resources gt    That made  you just set the Button   ImageButton to use the new layout  like this    lt ImageView     android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  wrap content      android background   drawable example    gt    Then when you click that image  it will change to the color set in   lt item android drawable   color blue        android state pressed  true    gt    giving the feedback that you want

EDIT  Although the original answer below works and is easy to set up  refer to this post by an Android Developer Advocate at Google if you want   need a more efficient implementation  Also note that the android foreground attribute is coming to all Views  including ImageView  by default in Android M     The problem with using a selector for an ImageView is that you can only set it as the view s background - as long as your image is opaque  you will not see the selector s effect behind it   The trick is to wrap your ImageView in a FrameLayout with the attribute android foreground which allows us to define an overlay for its content  If we set android foregroundto a selector  e g  android attr selectableItemBackground for API level 11   and attach the OnClickListener to the FrameLayout instead of the ImageView  the image will be overlaid with our selector s drawable - the click effect we desire   Behold    lt FrameLayout     android id    id imageButton      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android foreground   android attr selectableItemBackground   gt        lt ImageView         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  match parent          android src   drawable yourImageFile    gt    lt  FrameLayout gt     Note this should be placed within your parent layout    final View imageButton   findViewById R id imageButton   imageButton setOnClickListener new OnClickListener         Override     public void onClick View view               do whatever we wish

In combination with all the answers above  I wanted the ImageView to be pressed and changed state but if the user moved then  cancel  and not perform an onClickListener   I ended up making a Point object within the class and setting its coordinates according to when the user pushed down on the ImageView  On the MotionEvent ACTION UP I recording a new point and compared the points   I can only explain it so well  but here is what I did      set the ontouch listener weatherView setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener           Override     public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event               Determine what action with a switch statement         switch  event getAction                  User presses down on the ImageView  record the original point            and set the color filter         case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                ImageView view    ImageView  v                  overlay is black with transparency of 0x77  119              view getDrawable   setColorFilter 0x77000000                      PorterDuff Mode SRC ATOP               view invalidate                 p   new Point  int  event getX     int  event getY                 break                        Once the user releases  record new point then compare the            difference  if within a certain range perform onCLick            and or otherwise clear the color filter         case MotionEvent ACTION UP                ImageView view    ImageView  v              Point f   new Point  int  event getX     int  event getY                 if   Math abs f x - p x   lt  15                       amp  amp    Math abs f x - p x   lt  15                      view performClick                                 clear the overlay             view getDrawable   clearColorFilter                view invalidate                break                              return true              I have an onClickListener set on the imageView  but this can be an method

It s possible to do with just one image file using the ColorFilter method  However  ColorFilter expects to work with ImageViews and not Buttons  so you have to transform your buttons into ImageViews  This isn t a problem if you re using images as your buttons anyway  but it s more annoying if you had text    Anyway  assuming you find a way around the problem with text  here s the code to use   ImageView button    ImageView  findViewById R id button   button setColorFilter 0xFFFF0000  PorterDuff Mode MULTIPLY     That applies a red overlay to the button  the color code is the hex code for fully opaque red - first two digits are transparency  then it s RR GG BB

You can design different images for clicked not clicked states and set them in the onTouchListener as follows  final ImageView v    ImageView  findViewById R id button0           v setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener                  Override             public boolean onTouch View arg0  MotionEvent arg1                    switch  arg1 getAction                      case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                        v setImageBitmap res getDrawable R drawable img down                        break                                    case MotionEvent ACTION CANCEL                       v setImageBitmap res getDrawable R drawable img up                        break                                                      return true                              The better choice is that you define a selector as follows   lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt item android state selected  true             android drawable   drawable img down    gt       lt item android state selected  false             android drawable   drawable img up    gt   lt  selector gt    and select the image in the event   v setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener                  Override             public boolean onTouch View arg0  MotionEvent arg1                    v setSelected arg1 getAction    MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                   return true

Thanks for the help on this thread  However  you missed one thing   you need to handle the ACTION CANCEL as well  If you don t then you might not properly restore the alpha value of the ImageView in the event that a parent view in the view hierarchy intercepts a touch event  think a ScrollView wrapping you ImageView    Here is a complete class that is based off the above class but takes care of the ACTION CANCEL as well  It uses an ImageViewCompat helper class to abstract the differences in the pre-post JellyBean API   public class ChangeAlphaOnPressedTouchListener implements OnTouchListener        private final float pressedAlpha       public ChangeAlphaOnPressedTouchListener float pressedAlpha            this pressedAlpha   pressedAlpha              Override     public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event            ImageView iv    ImageView  v          switch  event getAction              case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN              ImageViewCompat setAlpha iv  pressedAlpha               break           case MotionEvent ACTION MOVE              if  isInsideViewBounds v  event                     ImageViewCompat setAlpha iv  pressedAlpha                 else                   ImageViewCompat setAlpha iv  1f                             break          case MotionEvent ACTION UP              ImageViewCompat setAlpha iv  1f               break          case MotionEvent ACTION CANCEL              ImageViewCompat setAlpha iv  1f                     return false             private static boolean isInsideViewBounds View v  MotionEvent event            return event getX    gt  0  amp  amp  event getX    lt  v getWidth    amp  amp  event getY    gt  0                  amp  amp  event getY    lt  v getHeight

This worked for me   img setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener                  Override             public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event                    switch  event getAction                                          case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                                                  ImageView v  setImageAlpha 200                           break                                            case MotionEvent ACTION MOVE                                                   if inside bounds                         if event getX    gt  0  amp  amp  event getX    lt  v getWidth    amp  amp  event getY    gt  0  amp  amp  event getY    lt  v getHeight                                                            ImageView v  setImageAlpha 200                                                     else                                                         ImageView v  setImageAlpha 255                                                      break                                            case MotionEvent ACTION UP                                                  ImageView v  setImageAlpha 255                                                           return true                                Edit  As Gunhan said there will be backward compatibility problem with setImageAlpha method   I used this method   public static void setImageAlpha ImageView img  int alpha                if Build VERSION SDK INT  gt  15                        img setImageAlpha alpha                     else                       img setAlpha alpha
