Change button appearance when focus or click ?

Question

Hi guys,

I am trying to make a button with background image.

<Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_marginLeft="5px" 
 android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" 
 android:id="@+id/button1" 
 android:background="@drawable/imagename">
</Button>

I wanna make it would be different (shadow, brightness etc...) when user click or touches on the button.

You know standard buttons are changed color when focused or clicked. I am trying to make like this.

How to make it ?

Thanks in advance.

you can use a selector XML and specify that as button background. To get an idea of how this works check this out.
