2 - I haven't had to override StateListDrawable when adding a new state for my drawables. I only had to override getDrawableState in the view (subclass) to make sure that my new state gets propageted into the drawable's state array.
3 - No, I don't. I just know there is a separate drawable for the selector. Looking at the source, AbsListView has a onCreateDrawableState() method that you can override (it's a framework method that is meant to be overriden, so it's protected). http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/core/java/android/widget/AbsListView.java And it looks like AbsListView just copies its own state into the selector state (same file, drawableStateChanged). So the issue is how to push your state, which is per-item, into the list view selector. I would do this with a custom interface in the adapter, there are probably other ways too. 4 - I haven't actually done the exact thing you're trying to do, so don't have code I could post. I am sharing some ideas, hoping that they might be useful to you. 5 - Gmail for Android uses the background color to indicate read / unread state for messages (in the message list view). This background is overriden by the selector, just like you are saying, but frankly, I never noticed until now, when I went to check what it looks like there. Here is another idea - if you are building a non-standard, graphics-intensive UI, perhaps you could use a selector drawable that shows pressed/selected states in a non-standard way, too. I did this for my current project, and quite liked the look (YMMV): http://kmansoft.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/checkable-image-button/ -- Kostya 2011/1/16 poohtbear <eyaltg...@gmail.com> > Hi Kostya. > 1. i know how to add a new attribute to the selector, i can do it > programatically using the original list's selector and save me some > work. > 2. in StateListDrawable you have a protected method that acts on those > states, and it's stated specifically that you need to override it to > act on your own states, so just adding a state will not do, i need my > own StateListDrawable. > 3. how and where in ListView the selector states are determined ? > KeyDown\KeyUp events ? pointerPressed events ? is there a main > function where it all goes to to set the current selector state on a > specific list item that i can override ? i'm not sure this method wont > be private making me override lots of other methods... > 4. it would have been easier if you could just post a simple selector > xml and a short ListView example that uses the new state, what you > wrote here is pretty much just stating the obvious in high level > without giving the specific details i wondered about... > > 5. i think i explained that i can't just 'set the background' because > than the selected and clicked drawables will be hidden by that > background. i didn't check though what will happen if the background > will be StateListDrawable itself. > > On Jan 13, 5:21 pm, Kostya Vasilyev <kmans...@gmail.com> wrote: > > You can probably do this by: > > > > - Creating your own styleable to declare the new attribute; > > - Creating your own state-list drawable to use the new atribute; > > - Setting it as the "listSelector" for the list view; > > - Subclassing ListView to propagate the new attribute value into the > > selector. > > > > On the other hand, it's probably going to be easier to just set the > > background color in your adapter's getView. > > > > -- Kostya > > > > 13.01.2011 18:01,poohtbearпишет: > > > > > > > > > I have a list view with relativeLayout with all sorts of widgets > > > (TextViews, RatingBars, ImageViews etc...). > > > I use my own adapter to populate the ListView. > > > > > The items in the adapter, besides being selected \ pressed \not > > > focused have an extra state: 'viewed'. > > > Baiscally i want that items that have state viewed set to true will be > > > drawn with blue background and items with viewed set to false with > > > white\transparent background. > > > > > The problem is that i can't set the background on the View itself > > > since it will hide the selector, i'm not sure regarding adding extra > > > state since i know how to add it using addState on the current > > > selector, but i have no clue how to cause the list to use the extra > > > state, or how to use different selector for different item types. > > > > > Any help ? > > > > -- > > Kostya Vasilyev -- WiFi Manager + pretty widget -- > http://kmansoft.wordpress.com > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<android-developers%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
