I ve got a problem and could not find a solution till yet! I ve implemented a custom keyboard with several keys. Each key got a background image. I would like to change the background color of the pressed key itself as shown in the original keyboard below:
I dont want to have a preview, I would like to change the background color of the key itself, when the key gets pressed. Here are my files:
keyboard.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/keyboard"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:keyPreviewOffset="10dp"
android:keyPreviewLayout ="@layout/preview"
android:keyTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:keyBackground="@drawable/cleanbuttoormal"
android:background="#881f2023"
/>
keybackground.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="@drawable/cleanbuttoormal" />
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/cleandeactivate" />
<item
android:state_checkable="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/cleanbuttoormal" />
<item
android:state_checkable="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/cleandeactivate" />
<item
android:state_checkable="true"
android:state_checked="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/cleanbuttoormal" />
<item
android:state_checkable="true"
android:state_checked="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/keybackground" />
</selector>
The background color will be changed to my drawable, but when I hit the key, it will not changed to the pressed - state. The background stays the same. Could you please help me? Thanks in advanced!
Here my custom keyboard layout, with preview enabled to show that the button got hit.
The black button with the 8 should get yellow. The preview is for debugging purposed. Thanks!
