android button setPressed after onClick

Question

yesterday I noticed the possibility to integrate Fragments in older API Levels through the Compatibility package, but thats not really essential for the question. :)

Another solution is to extend Button and override setPressed(boolean pressed) method so you can handle platform calls from the onClickEvent using a flag, for example changing the boolean pressed parameter depending on your needs.

public class MyButton extends Button {
   boolean isSelected = false;  //this is your flag
   @Override
   public void setPressed(boolean pressed) {
       if(isSelected) {
           //here you change the parameter so it stays pressed
           super.setPressed(true);
           return;
       }
       super.setPressed(pressed);
   }

   public void setIsSelected(boolean selected) {
       this.isSelected = selected;
   }

   public MyButton(Context context) {
       super(context);
   }
}
