How to Change color of Button in Android when Clicked?

by

One approach is to create an XML file like this in drawable, called whatever.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/bgalt" />

    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/bgalt" />

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/bgnorm" />
</selector>

bgalt and bgnormare PNG images in drawable.

If you create the buttons programatically in your activity, you can set the background with:

final Button b = new Button (MyClass.this);
b.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.whatever));

If you set your buttons’ style with an XML, you would do something like:

<Button
  android:id="@+id/mybutton"
  android:background="@drawable/watever" />

And finally a link to a tutorial.
Hope this helps.
