I see a similar solution on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2065430/fixed-android-detecting-focus-pressed-color/2189757#2189757
but I have some concerns with that solution, mainly what if the OS
changes the graphic of the default button? Since the normal unfocused/
unpressed graphic is now hardcoded into the app, it would break the
flow.
Maybe can someone comment on whether it would be good or bad practice
to hardcode the default graphic into the app? What are the chances of
the OS completely changing the graphic?
Thanks!
