Android how to set button to have transparent background but outline still there

Question

When I set android:background="@android:color/transparent, it sets my buttons background to transparent, but the outline of the button disappears. How do I set it so that the background is transparent but there is still an outline?

You can use a custom selector that uses different nine patch image for different states of the button.
