I have a custom control (very simple for now) that is like a button. It needs to display an unpressed and a pressed image. It appears multiple times in the activity and has different pairs of images depending on where it's used. Think of toolbar icons - similar to that.
Here's an extract of my layout:
<TableLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:MyApp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.mockup"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TableRow>
<com.example.mockup.ImageGestureButton
android:id="@+id/parent_arrow"
android:src="@drawable/parent_arrow"
MyApp:srcPressed="@drawable/parent_arrow_pressed"
... />
...
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
attrs.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="ImageGestureButton">
<attr name="srcPressed" format="reference" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
And, in the R.java, one finds:
public static final class drawable {
public static final int parent_arrow=0x7f020003;
public static final int parent_arrow_pressed=0x7f020004;
...
}
During widget instantiation, I want to determine the ids declared in the activity xml. How do I do that? I've tried this (I updated my original post with working code; so, the following works.)
public class ImageGestureButton extends ImageView
implements View.OnTouchListener
{
private Drawable unpressedImage;
private Drawable pressedImage;
public ImageGestureButton (Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{
super(context, attrs);
setOnTouchListener (this);
unpressedImage = getDrawable();
TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes (attrs, R.styleable.ImageGestureButton, 0, 0);
pressedImage = a.getDrawable (R.styleable.ImageGestureButton_srcPressed);
}
public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent e)
{
if (e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
setImageDrawable (pressedImage);
}
else if (e.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
setImageDrawable (unpressedImage);
}
return false;
}
}
If you want to get the drawable use TypedArray.getDrawable(). In your example you are using getString().
In your declare-styleable
use
<attr name="srcPressed" format="reference" />
