Shape + Selector: Make a Shape as one item of the Selector

Generally, I use a selector to select pictures or colors to render the normal and the pressed background for View.

And use a Shape to draw a fixed background with border, round, gradient and other UI effect for View.

What if you wanna use them both for one View?

Make a Shape as one item of the Selector.

Selector selects background from Shape list.

Below is a sample.

‘<’?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=”rectangle”>
’ <’solid android:color=”@color/background_pressed” />
’ <’stroke android:width=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:color=”@color/linecolor” />
‘<’padding android:bottom=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:left=”@dimen/gap_2″
android:right=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:top=”@dimen/gap_2″ />

'<'item>  
     '<'shape android:shape=”rectangle”>  
          <solid android:color=”@color/background_normal” />  
          <stroke android:width=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:color=”@color/linecolor” />  
          <padding android:bottom=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:left=”@dimen/gap_2″                                          
          android:right=”@dimen/gap_2″ android:top=”@dimen/gap_2″ />  
     </shape>  
 </item>
