Custom View not responding to touches

Question

I\'ve created a custom view which should change it\'s background image when pressed, highlighted or disabled. The app runs but the button doesn\'t change it\'s background.

Answer 1

It extends from View, not button, so it's not clickable or focusable by default. Adjust with

android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"

in your XML.

You can also set these in the constructor of your View class if you want to do it in java:

setFocusable(true);
setClickable(true);
