How to set transparent background for Image Button in code?

Question

I can set ImageButton background transparent in layout.xml using:

android:background=\"@android:color/transparent\"

How I can

Answer 1

DON'T USE A TRANSAPENT OR NULL LAYOUT because then the button (or the generic view) will no more highlight at click!!!

I had the same problem and finally I found the correct attribute from Android API to solve the problem. It can apply to any view

Use this in the button specifications

android:background="?android:selectableItemBackground"

This requires API 11
