How to show that ImageButton is pressed?

Question

How to show that ImageButton is pressed if i add image to it like this:

 Drawable testPic = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.test_pic); button.setImageDrawable( testPic );

And make transparent background so that there would be just image:

button.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

So when i press image button i don't see that it is pressed. I want that image would be highlighted or something when it is pressed.

Also every my button is created dynamically by code and i don't know what image would be and how many button there are.

So any ideas ?

Thanks.

you should use a selector for choosing all the different appearances of a UI element, including an ImageButton.

first comes the state_Pressed=true which means what does it look like when pressed. after that comes the regular which is the normal state of the button.

Again i don't have images and i don't know what they would look like. I just want to some how highlight any image

well, than you have to create different images for every state. that's how it works. (you can make a different background color for each state using the same image)

I think you should use State List for that...

You have to change Image at run time. You can achieve these with the help of xml file.

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/category_listing_bg_img" /> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/category_listing_bg_img_pressed" /> </selector>

Copy this xml to your drawable folder

I can't do this because i don't know what my images would look like
