How to Change color of Button in Android when Clicked

Question

I am working on Android Application  I want to have 4 buttons to be placed horizontally at the bottom of the screen  In these 4 buttons 2 buttons are having images on them  The border of the buttons should be black color and the border should be as thin as possible  When I click the button  I want the background of the button should be changed to blue color without the color of border to be changed and should be remained in that color for some time  How can I achieve this scenario in Android

To deal properly for how long you want to have your button stay in your other color I would advise this version   button setOnTouchListener new View OnTouchListener                  Override             public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event                    switch event getAction                          case MotionEvent ACTION DOWN                          button setBackground getResources   getDrawable R drawable on click drawable                            break                      case MotionEvent ACTION UP                          new java util Timer   schedule                                  new java util TimerTask                                          Override                                     public void run                                               Activity   getContext     runOnUiThread new Runnable                                                  Override                                             public void run                                                     button setBackground getResources   getDrawable R drawable not clicked drawable                                                                                                                                                                       BUTTON CLICK TIME AFTER RELEASE ANIMATION                           break                      default                                    return false                              BUTTON CLICK TIME AFTER RELEASE ANIMATION indicates after how much time  ms  the button will reset to the previous state  however you might want to use some boolean to check that the button hadn t been used in between  depending on what you want to achieve

Even using some of the comments above this took way longer to work out that should be necessary  Hopefully this example helps someone else   Create a radio button xml in the drawable directory        lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt    lt  -- An element which allows two drawable items to be listed -- gt   lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt item android state checked  true  android drawable   drawable radio button checked    gt   lt  --pressed -- gt       lt item android drawable   drawable radio button unchecked    gt   lt  -- Normal -- gt   lt  selector gt    Then in the xml for the fragment should look something like   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt layout xmlns app  http   schemas android com apk res-auto      xmlns tools  http   schemas android com tools  gt    lt LinearLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android orientation  vertical  gt   lt RadioGroup android layout width  match parent  android layout height  match parent  gt    lt RadioButton      android id    id radioButton1      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android layout marginLeft  10dp      android layout weight  1      android button   drawable radio button      android paddingLeft  10dp    gt           lt RadioButton     android id    id radioButton2      android layout marginLeft  10dp      android paddingLeft  10dp      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android layout weight  1      android button   drawable radio button    gt    lt  RadioGroup gt       lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  layout gt

One approach is to create an XML file like this in drawable  called whatever xml    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 focused  true          android state pressed  true          android drawable   drawable bgalt    gt        lt item         android state focused  false          android state pressed  true          android drawable   drawable bgalt    gt        lt item android drawable   drawable bgnorm    gt   lt  selector gt    bgalt and bgnormare PNG images in drawable   If you create the buttons programatically in your activity  you can set the background with   final Button b   new Button  MyClass this   b setBackgroundDrawable getResources   getDrawable R drawable whatever      If you set your buttons  style with an XML  you would do something like    lt Button   android id    id mybutton    android background   drawable watever    gt    And finally a link to a tutorial  Hope this helps
