How to Add Custom Button to Android App - Android Studio 2.2.2 Tutorial

Custom Button can enhance user interface to your app! This time we're adding one to our app. Watch the entire video to understand it or go manual.

Button.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/btpressed"
        android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/bt"/>
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/bt"/>


</selector>

We uses two images of buttons, you can create them manually using Photoshop or any other tools.

activity_main.xml

    <Button
        android:background="@drawable/button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:id="@+id/button2" />

We had shown the background for the button as button.xml that we created.
