What is the "state_focused" state for a Button?

Question

I would like a Button background to remain a certain color after the button is clicked, and change colors again when some other button is pressed. I thought this was the "state_focused" state.

But the only two states I seem to have for my Button is pressed or not pressed.

Do I understand the state_focused state correctly, or is my StateListDrawable (see below) wrong?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">      <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false"><shape>             <solid android:color="#00ff00" />         </shape></item>     <item android:state_pressed="true"><shape>             <solid android:color="#ff0000" />         </shape></item>     <item><shape>             <solid android:color="#0000ff" />         </shape></item>  </selector> 

Answer 1

state_focused is whenever the button is focused on using a dpad or the trackball. Views don't generally show a focused state when using touch.
