Android Question Change border color button in code

[bluedude]

Hi,

I have set the border color of a button in the designer but now I need to change it dynamically in code, how to do that?

 

[eurojam]

button1.Color = Colors.red

 

[bluedude]

Sorry, wrong answer. Borders are only available in statelistdrawable mode and colordrawable.

If yu have the new version of B4a, you can use:

Dim cd As ColorDrawable
        cd.Initialize2(Colors.Red,10dip,5dip,Colors.Green)       
        MyRB.Background=cd

Thanks, it works.

Mm, does not work as expected. When pressing the button there is no pressed default effect.

You need to define a StateList Drawable, and set a colordrawable for each state.

I have done that but still some issues with pressed. See below:

Dim btnThemeBlue,btnThemeWhite,btnThemeWhiteClicked As ColorDrawable
Dim sldBlue,sldWhite As StateListDrawable

sldBlue.Initialize
sldWhite.Initialize

btnThemeBlue.Initialize2(Colors.RGB (23, 126, 251),5dip,1dip,Colors.RGB (23, 126, 251))
btnThemeWhite.Initialize2(Colors.White,5dip,1dip,Colors.RGB (23, 126, 251))
btnThemeWhiteClicked.Initialize2(Colors.RGB (169, 169, 169),5dip,1dip,Colors.RGB (23, 126, 251))

sldBlue.AddState (sldBlue.State_Enabled,btnThemeBlue)
sldBlue.AddState (sldBlue.State_Pressed ,btnThemeWhiteClicked)

sldWhite.AddState (sldWhite.State_Enabled,btnThemeWhite)
sldWhite.AddState (sldWhite.State_Pressed ,btnThemeWhiteClicked)

btnTest.Background = sldWhite

Invert Enabled and Pressed:
sldWhite.AddState (sldWhite.State_Pressed ,btnThemeWhiteClicked)
sldWhite.AddState (sldWhite.State_Enabled,btnThemeWhite)

Alright, that's it The devil is in the details
