how to change background image of button when clicked/focused?

you can implement in a xml file for this as follows:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/your_imagename_while_focused"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/your_imagename_while_pressed" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/image_name_while_notpressed" />  //means normal
</selector>

now save this xml file in drawable folder and name it suppos abc.xml and set it as follows

 Button tiny = (Button)findViewById(R.id.tiny);
 tiny.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.abc);

Hope it will help you. 🙂
