Make an Android button change background on click through XML

In the latest version of the SDK, you would use the setBackgroundResource method.

public void onClick(View v) {
   if(v == ButtonName) {
     ButtonName.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ImageResource);
   }
}

public void methodOnClick(View view){

Button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.nameImage);

}

i recommend use button inside LinearLayout for adjust to size of Linear.

To change the image by using code:

public void onClick(View v) {
   if(v.id == R.id.button_id) {
     ButtonName.setImageResource(R.drawable.ImageName);
   }
}

Or, using an XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_pressed="true"
   android:drawable="@drawable/login_selected" /> <!-- pressed -->
  <item android:state_focused="true"
   android:drawable="@drawable/login_mouse_over" /> <!-- focused -->
  <item android:drawable="@drawable/login" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

In OnClick, just add this code:

ButtonName.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ImageName));
