I discovered that this can all be done in one file fairly easily. Put something like the following code in a file named custom_button.xml
and then set background="@drawable/custom_button"
in your button view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="@color/yellow1"
android:endColor="@color/yellow2"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="@color/grey05" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true" >
<shape>
<gradient
android:endColor="@color/orange4"
android:startColor="@color/orange5"
android:angle="270" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="@color/grey05" />
<corners
android:radius="3dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>

<corners
