Option #1: Use a red color, as you did there. Downside: your button will appear to be no longer focusable or clickable, since the different button UI states for those events are actually part of the button background. Option #2: Create a StateListDrawable, perhaps through a <selector> XML file in res/drawable/. Clone the XML from the XML used by Android for buttons by default, and replace whichever states you want with a solid red color, or a red .9.png file, or something. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
