Implementing Ripple effect outside ImageButton

Question

I am trying to implement ripple effect for ImageButton.I have set ripple in background and drawable image in the src for it.

android:background=\"@drawable/         


        

Answer 1

I ran into this and my issue is that 'selectableItemBackgroundBorderless' creates a rectangle, while my button was circular. I'm not sure if this answers the original question but here is what I found: set the background to this in drawable-v21

and @null in lower api levels (assuming you're using a selector for the actual image button src). The ripple most visible in the padding of the button. If there's no masking layer at all The ripple is unbound and kind of takes over the whole screen. You can use whatever shape you want if not a circle.
