How can I give an imageview click effect like a button on Android?

Question

I have imageview in my Android app that I am using like a button with the onClick event given, but as you might guess it is not giving imageview a clickable effect when clic

Answer 1

In combination with all the answers above, I wanted the ImageView to be pressed and changed state but if the user moved then "cancel" and not perform an onClickListener.

I ended up making a Point object within the class and setting its coordinates according to when the user pushed down on the ImageView. On the MotionEvent.ACTION_UP I recording a new point and compared the points.

I can only explain it so well, but here is what I did.

// set the ontouch listener
weatherView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        // Determine what action with a switch statement
        switch (event.getAction()) {

        // User presses down on the ImageView, record the original point
        // and set the color filter
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
            ImageView view = (ImageView) v;

            // overlay is black with transparency of 0x77 (119)
            view.getDrawable().setColorFilter(0x77000000,
                    PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
            view.invalidate();

            p = new Point((int) event.getX(), (int) event.getY());
            break;
        }

        // Once the user releases, record new point then compare the
        // difference, if within a certain range perform onCLick
        // and or otherwise clear the color filter
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
            ImageView view = (ImageView) v;
            Point f = new Point((int) event.getX(), (int) event.getY());
            if ((Math.abs(f.x - p.x) < 15)
                    && ((Math.abs(f.x - p.x) < 15))) {
                view.performClick();
            }
            // clear the overlay
            view.getDrawable().clearColorFilter();
            view.invalidate();
            break;
        }
        }
        return true;
    }
});

I have an onClickListener set on the imageView, but this can be an method.
