Add a "clicked effect" in my ImageView

Question

I am creating a game for Android where the player has the choice to pick some dice from the board. Is there a way to add a small visual effect that can inform the player which dice has he choose? Each ImageView have a listener already.

The Pic of the dice.

Yes. Now if you want more of an answer than that, you need to give us some idea of what you want to show. — Gabe Sechan, Jun 14 '14 at 16:20
@GabeSechan Thanks for your reply. I am not searching for something complicated. A "brighter" lighting at the choosed dice will be just fine. If you have to suggest something cooler I am all ears. — TheNerdFromYesterday, Jun 14 '14 at 16:24

You will need the separate images for pressed and normal states.

For example

pressed_state image => pressed_dice_img.jpg normal_state image => normal_dice_img.jpg

then you will have to make a selector file say dice_image_view_selector.xml in res/drawable folder like this

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

then apply to your each image view like this

android:background="dice_image_view_selector.xml"
