Android - change button text color when pressed

To change the button text color when the button is pressed in Android, you can use a combination of a ColorStateList and set the button's background to a StateListDrawable. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Create a ColorStateList: Create a res/color directory in your res folder if it doesn't exist. Then, create a button_text_color.xml file inside the res/color directory:

    res/color/button_text_color.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- Pressed state --> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#FF0000" /> <!-- Change to your desired pressed color --> <!-- Default state --> <item android:color="#000000" /> <!-- Change to your desired default color --> </selector>

    Adjust the color values to your preferred default and pressed colors.

  2. Create a StateListDrawable for the Button Background: Create a res/drawable directory in your res folder if it doesn't exist. Then, create a button_background.xml file inside the res/drawable directory:

    res/drawable/button_background.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- Pressed state --> <item android:state_pressed="true"> <shape android:shape="rectangle"> <!-- Change to your desired pressed background color --> <solid android:color="#CCCCCC" /> </shape> </item> <!-- Default state --> <item> <shape android:shape="rectangle"> <!-- Change to your desired default background color --> <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" /> </shape> </item> </selector>

    Adjust the color values to your preferred default and pressed background colors.

  3. Apply the ColorStateList and StateListDrawable to the Button: In your layout XML file, apply the button_text_color.xml to the android:textColor attribute and the button_background.xml to the android:background attribute of the Button:

    <Button android:id="@+id/myButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Press me" android:textColor="@color/button_text_color" android:background="@drawable/button_background" android:padding="16dp" />

    Replace "Press me" with your desired button text.

Now, when the button is pressed, the text color will change based on the defined ColorStateList, and the background will change based on the defined StateListDrawable. Adjust the colors and styles according to your design preferences.

Examples

  1. "Android button pressed state text color change"

    • Code Implementation: Use a selector in XML to define different text colors for the button's normal and pressed states.
      <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:textColor="#FF0000" /> <!-- Pressed state --> <item android:textColor="#000000" /> <!-- Normal state --> </selector>

  2. "Android button press color change programmatically"

    • Code Implementation: Change the text color of the button programmatically in Java.
      Button myButton = findViewById(R.id.myButton); myButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { // Button pressed myButton.setTextColor(Color.RED); } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { // Button released myButton.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); } return false; } });

  3. "Android button press effect with text color change"

    • Code Implementation: Implement a ripple effect for the button using a background selector and change the text color accordingly.
      <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="true"> <ripple android:color="#FF0000"> <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /> </ripple> <item android:textColor="#FF0000" /> </item> <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /> <item android:textColor="#000000" /> </selector>

  4. "Android button pressed state text color change in XML"

    • Code Implementation: Define the pressed state text color directly in the XML layout.
      <Button android:id="@+id/myButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Press Me" android:textColor="@drawable/button_text_color_selector" />

  5. "Android button text color change on click"

    • Code Implementation: Use the setOnClickListener method to change the text color when the button is clicked.
      myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { myButton.setTextColor(Color.RED); } });

  6. "Android button text color change animation"

    • Code Implementation: Apply an animation to smoothly change the text color when the button is pressed.
      ObjectAnimator colorAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofArgb(myButton, "textColor", Color.BLACK, Color.RED); colorAnimator.setDuration(300); myButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { colorAnimator.start(); } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { colorAnimator.reverse(); } return false; } });

  7. "Android button text color change on state change"

    • Code Implementation: Use setOnStateChangeListener to handle state changes and modify the text color accordingly.
      myButton.setOnStateChangeListener(new OnStateChangeListener() { @Override public void onStateChange(StateListDrawable stateListDrawable) { // Modify text color based on state changes } });

  8. "Android button text color change with selector"

    • Code Implementation: Use a color selector for the text color directly in the XML layout.
      <Button android:id="@+id/myButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Press Me" android:textColor="@color/button_text_color_selector" />

  9. "Android button text color change on long press"

    • Code Implementation: Implement a View.OnLongClickListener to change the text color on a long press.
      myButton.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() { @Override public boolean onLongClick(View v) { myButton.setTextColor(Color.RED); return true; } });

  10. "Android button text color change on touch event"

    • Code Implementation: Change the text color in response to touch events using setOnTouchListener.
    myButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { myButton.setTextColor(Color.RED); } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { myButton.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); } return false; } });
