You can create a selector xml file and place resource references for all the different states within it, then use the selector.xml file as your button background. Here is a push-button example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";> <item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/ global_btn_off" /> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ global_btn_on" /> </selector> There are many more button states available, look it up in the docs.
