How to highlight a TextView when you click on it just like when you click on a Button-CodePudding

By default, when you click on a Button, it will get highlighted. How to do the same thing for TextView when the user click on it?

CodePudding user response：

You should be able to set this in the xml layout file, by setting the view clickable and setting the foreground property correctly.

For example:

...
<TextView
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:focusable="true"
/>
...

Just a note, foreground is only available in Android API version 23 or above. If you need to use it in a version below that, replace android:foreground with android:background. Not exactly the same behaviour (ripple effect is placed in the background of the text, instead of in a layer above of the view as the property name indicates), but it should do the trick.
