Create an XML-file in a res/drawable folder. For instance, "btn_image.xml":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_state_1"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_state_2"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_selected="false"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_state_selected"
android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_state_deselected"/>
</selector>
You can combine those files you like, for instance, change "bg_state_1" to "bg_state_deselected" and "bg_state_2" to "bg_state_selected".
In any of those files you can write something like:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ccdd00"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
Create in a layout file an ImageView or ImageButton with the following attributes:
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:background="@drawable/btn_image"
android:padding="10dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="@drawable/star"/>
Later in code:
image.setSelected(!image.isSelected());
