I am using the following shape in my app
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="oval" >
<solid android:color="@color/primary_light"/>
<size android:height="80dp" android:width="80dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="@color/primary_light" android:width="5dp"/>
<size android:height="80dp" android:width="80dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
<size android:height="80dp" android:width="80dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
It is there in my drawable folder. Now I am updating my app to Lollipop and I wish to give a ripple feedback on the circular button that I used.
So in drawable-v21
folder I changed it to a ripple selector:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="@color/primary_light">
<item>
<selector>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="@color/primary_light" android:width="5dp"/>
<size android:height="80dp" android:width="80dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
<size android:height="80dp" android:width="80dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
</item>
</ripple>
But unfortunately the ripple effect is not generated by using the above drawable in Lollipop. Is it because of the <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
?
Can anyone show me where I have go wrong? Thanks
After a few trial and errors it seems I have misunderstood the hierarchy of the selector
and item
.
The following works perfectly.
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="@color/primary_light">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
<size android:height="80dp" android:width="80dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
This works with a transparent background:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?android:colorControlHighlight"
android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">
<!-- Use this to define the shape of the ripple effect (rectangle, oval, ring or line). The color specified here isn't used anyway -->
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="3dp"/>
<!-- This color is needed to be set - doesn't affect anything -->
<solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
</shape>
</item>
<!-- This is the background for your button -->
<item>
<!-- Use the shape you want here -->
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- Use the solid tag to define the background color you want -->
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
This was modified a bit from this answer: Transparent ripple
You can have a ripple effect on transparent or semi-transparent background when the ripple mask is specified. The ripple mask is a Drawable but only the alpha value is used setting the ripple alpha per pixel. Here is an example for creating programmatically.
var background = new android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable();
background.setShape(android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
background.setColor(0x77FFFFFF); // semi-transparent background
background.setCornerRadius(10);
background.setStroke(3, 0xFF1144FF); // border color
var mask = new android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable();
mask.setShape(android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
mask.setColor(0xFF000000); // the color is irrelevant here, only the alpha
mask.setCornerRadius(5); // you probably want the same corner as the background
var rippleColorLst = android.content.res.ColorStateList.valueOf(
android.graphics.Color.argb(255,50,150,255)
);
// aaaand
var ripple = new android.graphics.drawable.RippleDrawable(rippleColorLst,background,mask);
yourButton.setBackground(ripple);
(Sorry for the JavaScript/NativeScript code, probably one can understand it)
Following code works for custom shape with ripple effect for transparent button -
main_activity_buttons_ripple_with_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:color="#888888"
tools:targetApi="lollipop">
<!-- Use this to define the shape of the ripple effect (rectangle, oval, ring or line). The color specified here isn't used anyway -->
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="25dp" />
<!-- This color is needed to be set - doesn't affect anything -->
<solid android:color="#000" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- This is the background for your button -->
<item>
<!-- Use the shape you want here -->
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- Use the solid tag to define the background color you want -->
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#FFF" />
<corners android:radius="25dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
