How to set button click effect in Android?

Question

In Android, when I set background image to Button, I can not see any effect on button.

I need some effect on button so user can recognize that button is clicked.

You can simply use foreground for your View to achieve clickable effect:

android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

For use with dark theme add also theme to your layout (to clickable effect be clear):

android:theme="@android:style/ThemeOverlay.Material.Dark"
