You can use ToggleButton

If you with to use Button instead, you can make field boolean m_isOn; in your class, and in OnClickListener check this field and set button color (e.g. with setColorFilter()) and text accordingly.

Edit

Small example, if you really wish to avoid ToggleButton and using drawables:

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    m_isOn ^= true;
    ((Button)v).getBackground().setColorFilter(m_isOn ? 0xFF00FF00 : 0xFFFF0000, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
    ((Button)v).setText(m_isOn ? "ON" : "OFF");
}

something must be wrong with your project properties or imports then. try googling error description, it seems to give couple of solutions – Vladimir Nov 25 '11 at 10:34

use ImageButton instead of button, and selector as image. this XML file you can put into drawable directory

 <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <item android:state_pressed="true"
         android:drawable="@drawable/button_prev_active" /> 
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_prev_no_active" />

In layout do this:

 <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnPrev" 
        android:scaleType="fitXY" 
        android:padding="0px"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:onClick="prevClickHandler"
        android:src="@drawable/button_prev_selector"/>

i need the ON/OFF button for enable/disable by clicking the button ,this is possible by using OnClickListner or any method?
