I want to use a Button in my android app but I want to customize how it looks. However, I want the highlight and selected colors of the button to be the same as the default colors (i.e. the dark and light orange gradients, or whatever the theme color supplies).Is there anyway to get the default highlight/selected drawables and to use that as the fill for my buttons on the selected and highlighted states?

I am trying to create a button that has a custom background in the default state, but that still uses the colors for the pressed/selected states that are particular to whatever device it is running on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating custom shapes for certain buttons but I want them to maintain the systems current color scheme. I thought that by not applying a gradient or color it would automagically take care of this for me but I am mistaken. By doing that I end up with a black button and black text. Any pointers?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have made a custom widget, very similar to JTable in Swing. It is not editable, and all data is replaced at once, allowing easy checking for the widest item in each column & custom col sizing at replace time. It is a subclass of LinearLayout, filled with re-usable TableRow Objects, sub-classed directly from View.
TableRow is both Clickable, focusable, & focusable In Touch Mode. TableRow overrides onDraw(Canvas), calling super. It draws the first column in Black with Lt gray underneath. If the TableRow isFocused () , then a filled rectangle is drawn, before the rest of the cols (left or right justified based on data type), and borders. Where do I get the color, orange, to draw the filled rectangle indicating focus? android.R.drawable.list_selector_background seems to be a pointer, value 17301602, not an actual color. Placing any real Color in my code draws things fine. Is this 17301602 transparent or something? Am I doing this wrong, or do I just need to know how to fine the orange?
I have an expandable list with a custom adapter. Everything works great but there are two problems.
First whenever a group or child has a custom background color set the orange selector does not show up. If I dont setup a color the selector draws nicely and also the fade away for context menus works.
Second, some of my text inside a list item is linkified. Whenever a link is present the selector does not draw again. It seems that the click event is handled by the internal link view instead of propagating to the list view.
i want to change the background-color of a button using a selector-xml-file. My approach is basically the one from the example at the bottom this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html.But if I try it with android:textColor as described in the above link it works fine. So it has to be the background issue. I don't want to create a 9patch-png if it's not necessary (basically i just need a "clickable" rectangle so i use a button with a colored background)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm going through an Android tutorial and I'm trying to access a color I've defined in colors.xml
<color name = "my_background">#3500ffff</color>
Then I'm trying to access this color by name:
Paint background = new Paint();
background.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.my_background));
but it doesn't recognize my_background as a resource. If I let the suggestions come up, only a bunch of pre-defined colors pop up that are unrelated. Any ideas? It doesn't make sense for me, I see almost the exact same thing from the developer documentation and another site, but it doesn't work for me.
In my android app development, I have one button, the button text is not a single color text, it is two lines text, with each line uses different color for line text. How to implement this? "Two lines" can be simply implemented by adding " " in the text, I don know how to set different colors for each line text on the button. Anyone can help?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been searching everywhere on this issue but have not been able to find any solid answers. On my Droid X, all system buttons and lists, when pressed, are a bright red color. I want to find out how I can change this color. I'm not that familiar with android, so I don't know if this is an issue that can be solved via themes, or if I need to go deeper into the OS.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have to develop one android application.
Here is the scenario:There are many images in a linearlayout. When selected, the layout should be displayed with another(gradient_bg_hover.xml) background. This works well now.
Now, I would like that when I open a new activity and come back to this one, the last selected layout should still be the highlighted one (with the (gradient_bg_hover.xml) background).
Now i have used below code for highlighting the image when pressed:
[HIGH]
LinearLayout ar = new LinearLayout(this);
ar.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
ar.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
ar.setLayoutParams(artiLayoutParams);
ar.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
ar.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#666666")) ;
[Code]...
In OnClick function i have wrote the below code:
[HIGH]
private OnClickListener mArticleClick = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick ( View v )
{
int object = v.getId();
v.setSelected(true);
[Code]...
Here i have to clicked one item means it is go to next activity.afterthat i have clicked back button means the selected item is stay on highlighted with another background.afterthat i have selected another item means its go to next activity.now i have to click back button means these item only highlight with background....but the pervious item also highlighted....
I wish to need the o/p like :
The last selected item only highlighted after click the back button...
So i have used sharedpreferences :
I have declared int prevPosition = -1; globally...
[HIGH]
ar = new LinearLayout(this);
ar.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
ar.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
ar.setLayoutParams(artiLayoutParams);
ar.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
[Code]...
In Onclick method:
[HIGH]
private OnClickListener mArticleClick = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick ( View v )
{
int object = v.getId();
[Code]...
But my background color is not staying after press the back button...

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat the default behaviour of the back button is, as far as the Android platform is concerned.
For example, in the Contacts Application, if I am creating a contact, I just key in a name, and the press back button, the contact is saved with only the name. Fair enough. But, I then edit this contact to include a phone number and press back button. This contact is updated which now includes the phone number. I again edit this contact. This time I remove the name, as well as the phone number and press the back button. I get a message saying, "Contact doesn't exist". In this case, it deletes the contact. :(
In the mail appllication, while composing, when I press back, it goes to the drafts folder. Thats good. But, if I just have to cancel this, and I don't want this to go to drafts folder. For this, I have to open the menu, and select "Cancel".
I wonder whether there is a concept in Android that allows a user to define which application should be launched if a headset media button is pressed..? This would be something similar as the concept of a "default browser" or "default e-mail application" that is launched when a website should be opened or a mail needs to be sent. As far as I know such a concept at least exists for a browser on Android. Is there something like a "default media player" that is started when the user hits the headset's play button? If so, how could my application inform the system that it is a potential candidate for the "default media player" application?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a button in a custom view that I've created. I'm looping through an XML document and drawing certain things.

I'd like to do it in the view because I want to be able to call invalidate() on my view to redraw things and replace the buttons when new xml data is available.
The problem is that I put my code in the view class, the activity crashes because the button is "null".

How to set default CSC on JB custom ROM.
My Custom ROM is CMW flash-able, however developer set it as different location language and CSC.
I know this can be done by changing the CSC sales code by keypad. Normally on custom ROM after flash from CMW we see the JB startup wizard to guide first time boot the phone.
My question is how do I change selectable by default? on language and location and press next to continue?
On build.prop it self I already change
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=GB
But it seem doesn't work, it always pointed to different language & region.
How do you change the color of a selected toggle button. I'm referring to the green line indicator which lights up when the button is in the checked state.
