I am trying to remove an ImageButton's background in only the default state. I'd like the pressed and selected states to behave as usual so that they look correct on different devices, which use different colors for the pressed and selected states. Is there any way to set an ImageButton's background default state's drawable without affe...

(I actually wanted to add a divider and it seems like adding the dividers separately is better than adding them into a single listView) If I have 3 items I get the following behavior: new...

Hello, I am attempting to orbit an object around a center point, much like the sun and our planets. However I am having no luck at all. Any help would be really great. Thanks.
