<ImageButton android:id="@+id/previous"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/media_skip_backward"
android:background="@drawable/transparent"></ImageButton>
This is what I tried to get a transparent ImageButton so as to place those buttons on a SurfaceView. But Eclipse, gives me an error in the project as soon as I include the transparent line in xml.
Please help.
Don't use null or transparent if you need a click animation. Better:
//Rectangular click animation
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
//Rounded click animation
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
I was already adding something to the background so , This thing worked for me:
android:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
(Android Studio 3.4.1)
EDIT: only works on android api level 21 and above. for compatibility, use this instead
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
You can use the following code works just fine by setting the background to transparent:
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/previous"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/media_skip_backward"
android:background="transparent"></ImageButton>
It's android:background="@android:color/transparent"
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/imageButton"
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu_delete"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
/>
It works and also keeps visual feedback for button clicked,
android:backgroundTintMode="screen"
If you want to do it in a .xml use the below code:
android:background="@null"
And, here is an example of doing it programmatically
yourButton.setBackgroundResource(0);
