using a custom color for button background while using selectableItemBackground attribute

Question

I am trying to use

android:background=\"?android:attr/selectableItemBackground\"

to get my button to do appropriate effects for each android versi

Answer 1

If you read the source code of Button.java then you will see that it is a subclass of TextView.java. I have made a simple workaround for the problem in question.

In code:

button.setOnClickLisetener(new Onclicklistener() {
    // do your stuff here
}

It would be much better if someone can extend the TextView class and make a custom Button with the feature in question.

Note: my minsdk is 14. also, the lollipop ripple effect works just fine
