How to create ripple effect in simple layout

by

Set these properties on your layout (if your layout has the default white/light background):

          android:clickable="true"
          android:focusable="true"
          android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"

You don’t need a custom drawable in this case.

However, if your layout has a black/dark background, you’d have to create your own ripple drawable like this one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- An white rectangle ripple. -->
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:color="@android:color/white">
    <item
        android:id="@android:id/mask"
        android:gravity="center">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</ripple>

And then set this ripple drawable as your android:background property.

You can see many examples of these types of ripples in AOSP: in here
