I've noticed that changing the background color of an android widget (f.ex. Button or TextView) by program:
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
makes it to loose its 3D shape, border, and shadows effects, and then appears like a ugly flat square. What am I missing?
Sorry for the very naive question but I couldn't get it right although tried for a time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is my first app so finding my way around bit by bit and have been experimenting a little and would like to change the background colour to a colour from a list.Currently it loads a white background specified in strings.xml <color name="all_white">#FFFFFF</color> This is used in main.xml:android: background=" @color/all _white"Ideally I would like to change the colour in OnCreate() to a colour of my choice. I have tried setBackground Drawable but it doesnt seem to work?This is my code:public class TestActivity extends Activity double dimValPercent = 100; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super. onCreate (savedInstance State); setContentView(R.layout.main); SetDimLevel(dimValPercent);SetBackground(); return;}public void SetBackground(){getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable( new ColorDrawable (color.all_blue) );
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I change background color of ListView items on a pair-item basis. When I use android:backgroundColor in the ListView item layout I can achieve this, however the list selector is no longer visible. I can make the selector visible again by setting drawSelectorOnTop to true but then the selector overlays the whole item.
Any ideas how to change those background colors and keep the selector?
I would rather not change the selector itself.
Authors of GMail application have managed to achieve exactly this so it's definitely possible.
Im trying to change background color when an item is selected. Something like using a color selector, but actually it crashes. I've created a list_selector.xml inside /res/color/.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><item android:state_focused="true" android:color ="@ color/ plain_yellow"/><item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:color ="@color /plain _yellow" /><item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android: state_active="true" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android:color="@android: color/ transparent" /></selector> plain_yellow is a color i've defined in /res/values. I've tried to assign that selector programatically and using the xml, but the app crashes. Am i doing something wrong?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a custom widget (which is just a composite like):
<LinearLayout> <TextView> </LinearLayout>
this widget is focusable and reacts to touches. I'd like it to change its background color to the default system highlight color when the user scrolls to it, and have it blink when the user taps it (just like an element of a ListView does).
I can add an OnFocusChangeListener for when the user scrolls to it, and in the handler do the changing of the background color.
How would I add the 'blinking' behavior though when the user just taps it with a finger? I did something like this as a test code...
this is just a guess. Is there a correct way of implementing this behavior?
Anyone using this? Sure it has a price, but this thing isnt using ANY battery life on my phone... I thought these apps running in the background (chat apps) were supposed to destroy battery? I leave this thing on nearly 8 hours a day, and hardly see any battery drain. The UI could use a few tweaks and themes, but for reliability its awesome!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently playing about with lesson 08 here http://insanitydesign.com/wp/projects/nehe-android-ports/ I would like to change the background colour from black to white. In order to do this at the start of onDrawFrame() I have called gl.glClearColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); This does indeed set a white background screen, but also results in nothing else showing up on the screen! Clearly this is therefore an incorrect method, but why, and how do I fix it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedActually, what I want is a textview which can show the progress of something, I know progressbar in android,however,so far as I know, it can not contain any text(am I right?), so, I want to change the background color of the textview to show progress,from left to right gradually.
Is there any other way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my white X10 a couple of days ago and I'm loving it! Well, asides for one relatively minor issue which is the appearance of Timescape on the home screen. I really liked the transparent look Timescape had with the SE logo prior to setting up facebook and email, etc. Now there's usually someone's FB display picture or an email being displayed, which is nice and all but I don't really like having to it all the time. I'd much rather see it when I want to by just tapping the tile and entering timescape as I'm a fan of the clean look it had before the setup.
I was wondering if there was a way to change the timescape widget's appearance to what it was before I set it up without losing its functions. In other words I want it to work the way it is now but have it look the way it did on the home screen before I set it up. To illustrate what I mean, I would like to change timescape widget from looking like this:

How do you animate the change of background color of a view in Android?

If this can't be done with views, an alternative will be welcome.

View 7 Replies View RelatedTo give the user of my app an indication which field currently has the focus I am trying to change the background color of some of my fields depending on the current state, however, I am having troubles understanding Androids Color State List Resources:
There is this example at the bottom of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html. If I try exactly the same, i.e. if I want to adapt the textColor , things do work. However, if I try an only slightly different thing, namely to adapt the background color, things do not work and I don't understand why? Why is this so inconsistent?
To make it simpler to understand what I am trying to do, I append my misc. .xml files:
The AndroidManifest.xml file:
CODE:.........
If I run this as shown here, it works, i.e. I get a button whose text color changes depending on whether the button is focuses, pressed, etc.
If I uncomment the lower button, where I just flipped the attribute values for textColor and background I get an exception, stating
... <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
What the heck am I missing here? Why is that color state list acceptable as a text color but not as a background color? How does one specify a view's background color depending on the view's state?
Somehow when I select icons and menu items now, it's bright red.I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before.Where can I change that back?
