How can I give an imageview click effect like a button on Android?
You can do this with a single image using something like this:
//get the image view
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ImageView);
//set the ontouch listener
imageView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
ImageView view = (ImageView) v;
//overlay is black with transparency of 0x77 (119)
view.getDrawable().setColorFilter(0x77000000,PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
view.invalidate();
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL: {
ImageView view = (ImageView) v;
//clear the overlay
view.getDrawable().clearColorFilter();
view.invalidate();
break;
}
}
return false;
}
});
I will probably be making this into a subclass of ImageView (or ImageButton as it is also a subclass of ImageView) for easier re-usability, but this should allow you to apply a "selected" look to an imageview.
You can design different images for clicked/not clicked states and set them in the onTouchListener as follows
final ImageView v = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.button0);
v.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
switch (arg1.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
v.setImageBitmap(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.img_down));
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:{
v.setImageBitmap(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.img_up));
break;
}
}
return true;
}
});
The better choice is that you define a selector as follows
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/img_down" />
<item android:state_selected="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/img_up" />
</selector>
and select the image in the event:
v.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
v.setSelected(arg1.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN);
return true;
}
});
