Setting background drawable to TextView casues java.lang.StackOverflowError

Question

I want to add some ripple effect with a png image in background of a TextView and found this Post

I have action_darwer.xml drawable as

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless" android:state_pressed="true" /> <!-- pressed -->
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/drawer" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

and setting it to TextView as

<TextView android:id="@+id/action_drawer"
    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/action_drawer"/>

it is not working at all and giving error

java.lang.StackOverflowError: stack size 8MB

Are you sure? can you post a screenshot of your resource folder structure? — Vladyslav Matviienko, Feb 16 '17 at 09:26

StackOverflowError occurs because an application recurses too deeply.

At first modify background

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true"
      android:drawable="@drawable/pressed/>  // Press State
<item android:state_focused="true"
      android:drawable="@drawable/focused"/> // Focused
<item android:drawable="@drawable/drawer"/>  // Default State

</selector>

For more details check How can I modify ripple color when using ?

@ArshadAli FYI another info, `drawable` is not heavy size/resolution oriented – IntelliJ Amiya Feb 16 '17 at 10:17

As far as i am concerned, you cannot define ?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless as drawable, thats where the crash is . Change that to other drawable

eg:

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