My goal is to create a simple CardView with white background AND having a ripple effect when clicking on it. By just enabling the ripple effect with:

android:clickable="true"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

The ripple is shown. But at this point, the background is a dark grey. So let's change it to white

card_view:cardBackgroundColor="#FFFFFF"

Now my CardView is white, but there is no ripple anymore. No matter what I try, either I get only ripple, or only white background.

Hope you can help me! Thanks

check it out for details Material effect on button with background color

create a xml drawable and use as your background (API 21+). 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:color="?attr/colorControlHighlight">
        <item android:drawable="?attr/colorPrimary"/>
    </ripple>

  • Thanks. I created a xml drawable and placed it in the drawable folder. But AndroidStudio won't let me choose this as card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@color/...". Any ideas? – maximilian Mar 22 '16 at 19:58
