How to change the text color when the button is being pressed?

Question

Hi, I am implementing something like the user interface from Microsoft Zune HD player. So, I would like to change the text color of my button when the button is being pressed as well as when it has been clicked.

Answer 1

In res/drawable, create a file called for instance mybutton_background.xml and put something like this inside:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_background_focus" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_background_pressed" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_background_pressed" />
<item drawable="@drawable/button_background_normal">
</selector>

Then set this drawable as the background of your button with android:background="@drawable/mybutton_background".

Answer 2

Case solved. I just added an XML file into my color folder. Add in a selector XML and change the attribute "textColor" of my button to that selector XML.
