selector is not working.
CODE:.....................
I have applied the follwoing selector to all my buttons by specifying it in my theme:
CODE:...............
This works fine. But I want the background of the button to remain "@drawable/my_btn_pressed" when the button is pressed, as if to highlight that this was the last button pressed. Hence, I added the code in my onClick() to set the background resource:
CODE:.............
This also works to highlight the last pressed button with "my_btn_pressed". However after this, my selector properties do not seem to work on the other buttons. Mainly, the state focussed is not distinguishable, at all.
How I can do both, i.e distinguish focussed, pressed and normal states of the button, as well as highlight the last pressed button?
Running Froyo with Fresh 3.4 build and recently any time I use any app that utilizes the native date/time selector, i have problems... WHen trying to set a new alarm, or edit an existing one, when I click the "Add Alarm" icon, instead of bringing up the window that allows the selection of the time the alarm should sound, the screen just flashes and goes back to the "Desk Clock" screen. Also, whenever I want to make a new calendar entry or change an existing one, the same thing happens at the point that the date/time selector window should appear.

I am trying to setup a selector drawable in my asset file like this: * 2 different images for 'on'/'off' mode in rest mode (i.e. it does not has focus) * another 2 different images for 'on'/'off' mode in focus mode (i.e. it has the focus). In my case, the rest mode works, but the 'focus' mode does not. Can you please tell me what am I missing in the focus mode? Code...

I have 2 questions regarding a ListView in Android:
How can I get the color of the listview's focused row ? I tried to use the ListView.getSelector() method, which according to its documentation should give me what I'm looking for, but it's giving me a Drawable object which I don't know how to retrieve the color from (if possible...).
How can I set the color of the listview's focused row ? Here I tried to use the setSelector() method on the listview, passing it a ColorDrawable object, but the result of doing it is that the whole background of the list view is painted in that color... and this is not what I wanted of course...
When using the "selector" to specify different images for buttons for different states, such as pressed, focused etc, do I have to write an xml file for each button? I have about 15-20 buttons in my app, so was wondering if there is a way to write just one xml and refer to parts of it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for suggestions on how to go about adding a ListView selector that is 'permanent'. By this, I mean a single row in the ListView is always highlighted; it should move up or down in reponse to any D-pad presses (i.e. like the default selector) but also remain set/highlighted if the user were to scroll the ListView in either direction (i.e. it's still highlighted even when it's off-screen).
I've looked at using the standard selector mechanism, but am unable to get the selector to remain in place if the ListView is touched (and thus scrolled), so it makes me think that this isn't the best option? Perhaps there's a <selector> "state_*" that I've ignored?
The other option would be to use the onItemSelected() callback, but at first look this appears more convoluted?
Any suggestions/recommendations/experiences gratefully received.

I occur a problem when develop a application on android.There have two image which can be download from server in a list item, it will show one image and will show another image when user select or click this item.if I try to download another image from server when user click it,the user will never have time to see it, for this time is shorter than download image form server,so i want to download two of them,and when I click it again,the app can invoke another image from local.but I do not know how to invoke this image?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat I would find really usefull is a voicemail greeting selector that would allow you to record different greetings for different situations, personal, business etc. Record and then title the message which then becomes selectable from a menu. Ideally linked to a button or shortcut of some kind.
For example if I am out of the office I redirect all calls to my mobile, if I am unavailable my personal greeting is used via my network provider. Not very professional and to change this every time would be impracticle.
I have a listview with a custom item_row.xml. I've defined a selector in this way:
CODE:................
And then put into item_row.xml in this way:
CODE:...................
I want 2 things:
When i move with arrow keys, the item selected changed its background. It's works fine with the actual implementation of selector.
When i press a item, the item changed its background too, but it doesn't work with the actual selector.
I try to set also into the ListView android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" but it doesn't work neither.
I am having trouble getting a selector to work inside a button on an app widget.
My app widget xml looks like this:
CODE:......
My_selector.xml in my drawable directory looks like this:

The button doesn't change appearance....
I am trying to make ImageButton for state of pressed, focused and normal.
I've read introduction of ImageButton from this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageButton.html
I've saved selector XML file in /res/drawable/. Also set the android:src="@drawable/my_selector".
my_selector.xml file :
CODE:................
I think I've done correct ImageButton. But it didn't work for me.
I'm attempting to change the background color of an Android TextView widget when the user touches it. I've created a selector for that purpose, which is stored in res/color/selector.xml and roughly looks like that:
CODE:................
The clickable attribute of the TextView is "true", in case that's of interest.
When I assign this selector to a TextView as android:background="@color/selector",
I'm getting the following exception at runtime: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(13130): Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #6: <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
When I change the attribute to drawable, it works, but the result is looking completely wrong because the IDs appear to be interpreted as image references instead of color references (as the "drawable" suggests).
What confuses me is that I can set a color reference, e.g. "@color/black", as the background attribute directly. This is working as expected. Using selectors doesn't work.
I can also use the selector as the textColor without problems.
What's the correct way to apply a background-color-selector to a TextView in Android?
I am trying to style my ListView with two 9-patch background images (16px * 9px), one dark image for default state and another green image for selected and pressed state.
It works except for just one problem that when I select or press one list item, it seems that the selected item overlap the next one a little bit as I can see some pixels of the green background image is on the top of next item.
Trying to get an Android ListView to do what I want.
I want to have a ListView in single choice mode with a custom row layout that has a different background color for selected, pressed and checked (i.e. the choice is shown by a color rather than a check mark - this is what I would normally call the "selection" but selection in android seems line I'm about to choose before I press it)
I thought of trying a background selector with the three states in it. It works fine for state_selected and state_pressed, but not state_checked. So I created a CheckableRelativeLayout that extends RelativeLayout and implements Checkable and used for the view of each row.
A simplified version is shown here:
CODE:.....
bkg_selector looks like
CODE:..............
The colors are defined elsewhere.
This still didn't work. So in the custom ListAdapter I tracked the "checked" row and tried (in getView) if( position == checkedPosition ) ret.getBackground().setState(CHECKED_STATE_SET);
And it STILL doesn't work. How can I get it to do what I want?
I just tried this example. I saved that code in res/color/hover.xml but I always get this error message and Eclipse won't compile my project with this xml.
CODE:...............
Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token) hover.xml /MmAndroid/res/color line 8 Android AAPT Problem
The only thing I might not have done is following. I don't know how to do that: compiled resource datatype: Resource pointer to a ColorStateList.
I have a ListView. When I click on a ListItem, I set the background of the ListItem (it's view) to another color:
CODE:........
Here is my adapter:
CODE:......
The problem is, if I select multiple rows, then multiple rows have a colored background. I only want the clicked item to have a colored background. So if I click on row 2, I want it to turn red, then if I click row 1, I want row 2 to go back to normal, and row 1 to turn red.
I am having a gridview. when i select it, the selector(orange color) will shows like square. i want to set that as rounded corners. how to do that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to apply a custom background to each Listview item via the list selector?
The default selector specifies @android:color/transparent for the state_focused="false" case, but changing this to some custom drawable doesn't affect items that aren't selected. Romain Guy seems to suggest in this answer that this is possible.
I'm currently achieving the same affect by using a custom background on each view and hiding it when the item is selected/focused/whatever so the selector is shown, but it'd be more elegant to have this all defined in one place.
For reference, this is the selector I'm using to try and get this working:

And this is how I'm setting the selector:
