I would like to vary the text color of a custom button that I am making depending on which state it is in (enabled, disabled, state pressed). I know how to use an XML file to describe the different drawables that I need for the different states like so:
---- In the drawables folder I create this custom_button.xml file --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";> <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_enabled" android:state_pressed="false" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_tap" android:state_pressed="true" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_inactive" android:state_enabled="false" /> </selector> However, adding android:textColor to each item totally makes the button style invalid. Even if I create a style in the themes.xml file, I only get a single android:textColor like so: ----- themes.xml ----- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <style name="CustomButton" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button"> <item name="android:gravity">center_vertical| center_horizontal</item> <item name="android:textColor">#FF0000ff</item> <item name="android:textSize">14sp</item> <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item> <item name="android:background">@drawable/custom_button</item> <item name="android:focusable">true</item> <item name="android:clickable">true</item> </style> </resources> How do I style the textColor when pressed and textColor when disabled states without resorting to a subclass of a Button? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
