I am trying to understand how to implement the "Ripple Effect - Touch Feedback" for buttons and other views. I looked at the questions related to Ripple touch effect on SO and got some insight into it. I was able to successfully get the ripple effect using this java code.
import android.animation.ObjectAnimator;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.RadialGradient;
import android.graphics.Region;
import android.graphics.Shader;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MyButton extends Button {
private float mDownX;
private float mDownY;
private float mRadius;
private Paint mPaint;
public MyButton(final Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public MyButton(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public MyButton(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs,
final int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init();
}
private void init() {
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setAlpha(100);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(@NonNull final MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
mDownX = event.getX();
mDownY = event.getY();
ObjectAnimator animator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(this, "radius", 0,
getWidth() * 3.0f);
animator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
animator.setDuration(400);
animator.start();
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
public void setRadius(final float radius) {
mRadius = radius;
if (mRadius > 0) {
RadialGradient radialGradient = new RadialGradient(mDownX, mDownY,
mRadius * 3, Color.TRANSPARENT, Color.BLACK,
Shader.TileMode.MIRROR);
mPaint.setShader(radialGradient);
}
invalidate();
}
private Path mPath = new Path();
private Path mPath2 = new Path();
@Override
protected void onDraw(@NonNull final Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
mPath2.reset();
mPath2.addCircle(mDownX, mDownY, mRadius, Path.Direction.CW);
canvas.clipPath(mPath2);
mPath.reset();
mPath.addCircle(mDownX, mDownY, mRadius / 3, Path.Direction.CW);
canvas.clipPath(mPath, Region.Op.DIFFERENCE);
canvas.drawCircle(mDownX, mDownY, mRadius, mPaint);
}
}
But, i want to use XML approach. How do i achieve this? I have looked at this and this, but i am not yet that comfortable with styles, so i am finding it difficult to achieve the ripple effect.
I have a button with the following XML code:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_email"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.50"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="@string/email" />
How do i get ripple effect for this button. If someone can guide me, I will be thankful.
[EDIT] Adding ripple.xml and background.xml, as mentioned in one of the links above. I have created a drawable-v21 folder in res and added the below files there.
ripple.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="@android:color/black" >
<item android:drawable="@drawable/background">
</item>
</ripple>
background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="@android:color/darker_gray" />
</shape>
I added the ripple as background for my button, here is the xml for my button now..
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_email"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.50"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/ripple"
android:text="@string/email" />
When i run the application i get a ResourceNotFoundException. Here is the logcat trace..

UPDATE Material Components:
With the Material Components Library it is very easy to apply a ripple.
Just use the MaterialButton and the app:rippleColor attribute:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
app:rippleColor="@color/my_selector"
../>
With a selector like this:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:alpha="..." android:color="?attr/colorOnPrimary" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:alpha="..." android:color="?attr/colorOnPrimary" android:state_focused="true" android:state_hovered="true"/>
<item android:alpha="..." android:color="?attr/colorOnPrimary" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:alpha="..." android:color="?attr/colorOnPrimary" android:state_hovered="true"/>
<item android:alpha="..." android:color="?attr/colorOnPrimary"/>
</selector>
Old answer
You can do something like this:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/ripple"
/>
Where the ripple.xml is:
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?android:colorControlHighlight">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="?android:colorAccent" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
