Android how to make button text bold when pressed or focussed
- by stealthcopter
I want to change the text inside a button to be bold when the button is highlighted or pressed. I currently use a xml file to define the button and use the XML to change how it looks when pressed but I would like to do this without using an image.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/reset_hover" />
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/reset_hover" />
<item android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/reset_hover" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/reset" />
</selector>
I tried using something like the following, but it doesn't seem to ever get called.
final Button btn_reset = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_reset);
btn_reset.setOnClickListener(this);
btn_reset.setOn(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus){btn_reset.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);}
else{btn_reset.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);}
}
});
