Android: selector on custom view attribute
I tried to describe this tutorial: How to add a custom button state , create your own view attribute, and use a selector to change its state. I can't seem to get it to work. Button selector works fine on non-standard selectors like button click, but doesn't work for my costum toggle. My code looks like this:
in attrs.xml:
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="ValueButton">
<attr name="toggle" format="boolean" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
In my custom button class definition file called ValueButton.java:
public class ValueButton extends Button
{
private static final int[] STATE_TOGLLE = {R.attr.toggle};
private boolean toggle = false;
public void setToggle(boolean val)
{
toggle = val;
}
public ValueButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
protected int[] onCreateDrawableState(int extraSpace) {
final int[] drawableState = super.onCreateDrawableState(extraSpace + 2);
if(toggle)
mergeDrawableStates(drawableState,STATE_TOGLLE);
return drawableState;
}
}
In my opinion this uses a button:
<LiniarLayout>
<com.myapp.ValueButton
android:id="@+id/rightText"
custom:toggle="false"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
style="@style/ValueSwitchStyle"
/>
</LiniarLayout>
in styles.xml file:
<style name="ValueSwitchStyle">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/value_switch_background</item>
</style>
and finally my background definitions file (button_background.xml) located in the drawables folder:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/com.myapp.ValueButton">
<item custom:toggle="true" android:drawable="@color/blue"/>
<item custom:toggle="false" android:drawable="@color/white"/>
</selector>
