Changing NavigationView background to round shape not working when pressed


I am setting navigation item background using app:itemBackground in layout:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:itemBackground="@drawable/nav_selector_background"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"/>

Here is nav_selector_background.xml

<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:color="@color/colorNavItemSelected">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
    <color android:color="#000"/> <!-- any color will do -->
</item>

<item
        android:right="8dp">
    <selector>
        <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round"/>
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round"/>
        <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round"/>
        <item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round"/>
        <item android:state_active="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round" />
        <item android:state_hovered="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round" />
        <item android:state_drag_hovered="true" android:drawable="@drawable/nav_item_background_round" />
        <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"/>
    </selector>

</item>

And nav_item_background_round:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape>
            <solid android:color="@color/colorNavItemSelected"/>
            <corners android:bottomRightRadius="32dp"
                     android:topRightRadius="32dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Problem is when I press on the item the whole background is highlighted as seen in the screenshot. I only want the red part highlighted.

I uploaded the sample on Github if anybody is interested in compiling and running the app.


Solution

  • With the NavigationView in the MaterialComponents library you can use:

    Something like:

      <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
          app:itemShapeFillColor="@color/selector_menu"
          app:itemShapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.Nav"
          android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.NavigationView"
          ../>
    

    where the selector is something like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
      <item android:alpha="0.50" android:color="@color/primaryColor" android:state_pressed="true"/>
      <item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="@color/primaryColor" android:state_activated="true"/>
      <item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="@color/primaryColor" android:state_checked="true"/>
      <item android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
    </selector>
    

    and the shape is defined by:

      <style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.Nav" parent="">
        <item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
        <item name="cornerSizeTopRight">50%</item>
        <item name="cornerSizeBottomRight">50%</item>
        <item name="cornerSizeBottomLeft">0dp</item>
        <item name="cornerSizeTopLeft">0dp</item>
      </style>
    

    Also use the android:theme to override the color used by the ripple.

      <style name="ThemeOverlay.NavigationView" parent="">
        <item name="android:colorControlHighlight">@android:color/transparent</item>
      </style>
