I have two images(Light Red and Dark Red) for the button and i want to give Flashing Effect to that button that initially it glows from light-red to Dark-red and then when it pressed, its state will be changed to dark red. i try to sort out the Solution for this but every-where i see Fade-in and Fade-out solution using one image, but i want to use both images.
Please let me know if any function exists there for giving Flashing Effect between two images or i will have to make it manually.
For this I think you have to use customized xml drawable for your button, And for different state of button you can use different images, to apply style
Try this,
example:
XML file saved at res/drawable/button.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_pressed" /> <!-- pressed -->
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_focused" /> <!-- focused -->
<item android:state_hovered="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_focused" /> <!-- hovered -->
<item android:drawable="@drawable/button_normal" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>
This layout XML applies the state list drawable to a Button:
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/button" />
For more info look at Android - Drawable Style.
And nice example Adding Gradient Effects to Android Button.
SO post how to set image button backgroundimage for different state?.
