Making buttons that look like tabs in android

Question

I want this kind of look. They don\'t seem like tabs so I believe they are buttons.

Answer 1

Use simple button instead of toogle button. And set background like this:

I am giving example for 1 button:

 android:background="@drawable/data_button_select_state"

And add a xml file in your 'drawable' folder named data_button_select_state:

Now add code in java file like this:

when data button clicked:

  data_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            data_button.setActivated(true);
            H_chart_button.setActivated(false);
                            w_chart_button.setActivated(false);
                            hc_chart_button.setActivated(false);

        }
    });

change other button like this as well. This will might help you...
