Set background on TextView object and maintain ripple effect
I want to set the background of a TextView object programmatically, but also have a ripple effect for it. I can use with background set to android:selectableItemBackground , but the ripple effect gets lost, when setting the background. I also tried putting an ImageView together with the TextView in a FrameLayout . And set the image not as the background of the TextView , but as image of the ImageView : Yes, ripple is there, but it appears to be "behind" the image. Do I need to create a RippleDrawable from the bitmapfor the background? How would I do that? CodeFury I had same problem as you and
