What is the “state_focused” state for a Button?

Question

I would like a Button background to remain a certain color after the button is clicked, and change colors again when some other button is pressed. I thought this was the \"

Answer 1

To change a Button's background color and make it persistent after being tapped you simply have to:

1. Create a ColorStateSelector XML file
2. Set the "backgroundTint" property of the button to the aforementioned XML file
3. Set the button's state to the one desired and defined in the ColorState file

As an example in Kotlin and Material Buttons:

ColorStateSelector file (res/color/buttons_color_state.xml):

Layout XML:

Kotlin file:

val buttonOption = view?.findViewById(R.id.buttonOption)

// Implement any "if" checks or other control checks here if necessary
  buttonOption.isSelected = true
// now the button is Green!

Best of lucks!
