Shape + Selector: Make a Shape as one item of the Selector

Generally, I use a selector to select pictures or colors to render the normal and the pressed background for View.

And use a Shape to draw a fixed background with border, round, gradient and other UI effect for View.

What if you wanna use them both for one View?

Make a Shape as one item of the Selector.

Selector selects background from Shape list.

Below is a sample.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <selector xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”> <item android:state_pressed=”true”> <shape android:shape=”rectangle”> <solid android:color=”@color/background_pressed” /> <stroke android:width=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:color=”@color/linecolor” /> <padding android:bottom=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:left=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:right=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:top=”@dimen/gap_2″ /> </shape> </item> <item> <shape android:shape=”rectangle”> <solid android:color=”@color/background_normal” /> <stroke android:width=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:color=”@color/linecolor” /> <padding android:bottom=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:left=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:right=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:top=”@dimen/gap_2″ /> </shape> </item> </selector>
