DON T USE A TRANSAPENT OR NULL LAYOUT because then the button  or the generic view  will no more highlight at click        I had the same problem and finally I found the correct attribute from Android API to solve the problem  It can apply to any view    Use this in the button specifications   android background   android selectableItemBackground

In your XML set Background attribute to any colour White  FFFFFF  shade or Black  000000  shade if you want transparency just put 80 before the actual hash code       80000000

I believe the accepted answer should be   android background   attr selectableItemBackground    This is the same as  lory105 s answer but it uses the support library for maximum compatibility  the android  equivalent is only available for API    11

Don t use null or transparent if you need a click animation  Better     Rectangular click animation android background   attr selectableItemBackground     Rounded click animation android background   attr selectableItemBackgroundBorderless

Setting the background to   null  will make the button have no effect when clicked  This will be a better choice   style   android attr borderlessButtonStyle    Later I found that using   android background   android attr selectableItemBackground    is also a good solution  And you can inherit this attribute in your own style
