on button released

Jenselense · by **Jenselense** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 12:25 pm

Hi,
I have a custom button with a bitmap as background.
I want this background to be changed, when the button is pressed, and again when it is released...
Changing it "onPress" (or OnClick) ist no Problem, but is there a way to notice, when the button is released???

Or is there a possibility to set something like a "onTouch Background" which handles this issue itself??? I couldnt find anything...?????shouldn't be tooo difficult...?

Thanks in advance
JJ

Edit: OK, now I am using an ImageButto. This button changes its appereance on default, when its clicked... but only its background... So now I have my image on the button with a small white frame which changes when its clicked. Which is better than nothing, but still...actually i want the hole button to change, when its clicked...???

try OnTouchListener
here is an example.
more detail at docs

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

yourButton.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
 
            @Override
 
            public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
 
                if (arg1.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
 
                    /*change the background to a pressed one*/
 
                    arg0.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.pressed);
 
                } else if (arg1.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
 
                    /*change the background to a released one*/
 
                    arg0.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.released);
 
                }
 
                return false;
 
            }
 
});

How about my HoldButton? It's a regular button, but also has 2 listeners for when the button is held down and released.

Nice...
thanks for your replies, I already used the first solution.
Next time I'll check your holdbutton :-)

thanks,
JJ

Oh, I didn't read you post, I just saw you wanted to do something when the button was pressed. For making a button with your own bitmap you should use a selector.

I used a "normal" button with an image as background and switched this backgroundimage in the buttons onTouchListener if the action was DOWN and again back to the original when the action was UP...works fine...

I just need to return false, because I want to the onClickListener to handle the rest...

Using the selector drawable in the button does all this for you, so you don't have to write code for this.

How about SmoothButton which is included among my misc-widgets http://code.google.com/p/android-misc-widgets ? it smoothly changes (morphs) while pressing/releasing

on button released
