Change clickable TextView's color on focus and click?
- by Daniel Jonsson
I have a clickable TextView that I want to give some colors to. But I don't know how. Here are the relevant code snippets from my two files that I'm working with:
TextView title = new TextView(this);
title.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
title.setTextColor(R.color.textcolor);
title.setText(titleLine);
title.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
title.setClickable(true);
title.setId(idLine);
title.setFocusable(true);
title.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
/* Irrelevant code */
}
});
And this is my textcolor.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:color="#000000"/> <!-- pressed -->
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:color="#000000"/> <!-- focused -->
<item android:color="#000000"/> <!-- default -->
</selector>
When I use the textcolor-file by typing title.setTextColor(R.color.textcolor);, the textcolor just becomes grey, regardless if I press it or so. Which is strange since I have written "#000000" in all color fields.
But if I remove the setTextColor code, gets the textView a light grey color, and when I press it, it becomes black. But that aren't the colors that I want.
So, can anyone help me with this problem?
Just to clarify: I want to be able to specify the colors for the text when it's normal, pressed and focused.
