Changing TextView background color on click android

capiono picture capiono · Sep 21, 2013 · Viewed 31.1k times · Source

I'm trying to change the background of a textview when clicked.

For instance, if the textview is click it the background changes to yellow and remains yellow until it is click again. Then it returns to its default background.

Currently textview the background changes on pressed down, but returns to default on release.

I have search the internet for solutions and look at most of all the solution on stackoverflow, still no solution.

Drawable/selector.xml:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <item android:drawable="@drawable/circle_on" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_pressed="true"/>
     <item android:drawable="@drawable/circle_on" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="true"/>
     <item android:drawable="@drawable/circle_off"/>
</selector>

Drawable/circle_on:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:shape="oval" >
   <stroke
     android:width="2dp"
     android:color="@color/Gray" >
   </stroke>
   <solid android:color="@color/LightBlue" />
</shape>

Drawable/circle_off:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:shape="oval" >
    <stroke
        android:width="2dp"
        android:color="@color/Gray" >
    </stroke>
    <solid android:color="@color/WhiteSmoke" />
</shape>

TextView:

  <TextView
                style="@style/RoundText"
                android:layout_width="50dp"
                android:layout_height="50dp"
                android:background="@drawable/repeat_selector"
                android:clickable="true"
                android:text="Sun" >
            </TextView>

Text Style:

  <style name="RoundText">
    <item name="android:textColor">#555555</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">center_vertical|center_horizontal</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-thin</item>
</style>

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong

Thanks.

MY Solution:

    public class PlanTextView extends TextView  {

private boolean _stateChanged;
private boolean _selected;

public boolean is_stateChanged() {
    return _stateChanged;
}

public void set_stateChanged(boolean _stateChanged) {
    this._stateChanged = _stateChanged;
}

public boolean is_selected() {
    return _selected;
}

public void set_selected(boolean _selected) {
    this._selected = _selected;
}

public PlanTextView(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public PlanTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

public PlanTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
 }


<com.plan.views.PlanTextView
                android:id="@+id/mon"
                style="@style/RoundText"
                android:layout_width="50dp"
                android:layout_height="50dp"
                android:background="@drawable/circle_off"
                android:clickable="true"
                android:onClick="PlanOnClick"
                android:text="mon" >
 </com.plan.views.PlanTextView>

Activity

public void PlanOnClick(View v) {
    PlanTextView view = (PlanTextView)v;
    if (view.is_stateChanged()) {
        view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.circle_off);
        view.set_selected(false);
    } else {
        view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.circle_on);
        view.set_selected(true);
    }
    view.set_stateChanged(!view.is_stateChanged());
}

Apart from the above answers,try this code snippet too.

 <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:state_pressed="true">
      <shape>
        <gradient android:endColor="#AD1F2D" android:startColor="#AD1F2D" />
      </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_focused="true">
      <shape>
        <gradient android:endColor="#ff4b46" android:startColor="#ff4b46" />
      </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
      <shape>
        <gradient android:endColor="#ff4b46" android:startColor="#ff4b46" />
      </shape>
    </item>

</selector>

I hope this will useful for everyone.
