Programmatically set '?selectableItemBackground' on Android view

Question

In xml, I often do this to emulate onClick effect:

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView     android:id="@+id/cardView"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:foreground="?selectableItemBackground">      ...  </android.support.v7.widget.CardView> 

Is there any way to access ?selectableItemBackground in java?

Answer 1

For appcompat you can use,

TypedValue outValue = new TypedValue(); getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.selectableItemBackground, outValue, true); cardView.setBackgroundResource(outValue.resourceId);
