Android: Unable to change background (drawable) of a button in Fragment

Question

I have the following issue I cant solve:

I'm building an android app with multiple fragments. On the second fragment there is a button for which the background (ie a drawable) needs to be changed every time the button is pressed. Before I add more logic, I want this to work but I'm not able to get it to work. Help is much appreciated!

round_button_f2_decrease.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="@color/colorButtonF1Decrease" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/ic_trending_down_white_24px"
        android:gravity="center" />
</layer-list>

round_button_f2_increase.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

FragmentTwo.java

import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;

    private Button mbtnSort;

    @Nullable
    @Override

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_two, container, false);

        mbtnSort = view.findViewById(R.id.f2_button);
        mbtnSort.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.round_button_f2_decrease));
        mbtnSort.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                if (btnBackground.equals(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.round_button_f2_decrease))) {
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "IF", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    mbtnSort.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.round_button_f2_increase));
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "ELSE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    mbtnSort.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.round_button_f2_decrease));
                }
            }
        });
        return view;
    }
}

Answer 1

采用

mbtnSort.setBackground(R.drawable.round_button_f2_decrease);

Answer 2

Now it works:

public class FragmentThree extends Fragment {
    private static final String TAG = "FragmentThree";

    private Button mbtnSort;
    private boolean mbtnPressed = false;

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_three, container, false);

        mbtnSort = view.findViewById(R.id.f3_button);
        mbtnSort.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.round_button_f2_decrease);
        mbtnSort.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (mbtnPressed == true) {
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "IF", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    mbtnSort.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.round_button_f2_decrease);
                    mbtnPressed = false;
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "ELSE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    mbtnSort.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.round_button_f2_increase);
                    mbtnPressed = true;
                }
            }
        });
        return view;
    }
}

Answer 3

i think i understand what u try to do your problem not in change background your problem with background itself

i search for you for alot of thing to know how to get back ground and check it with your round_button_f2_decrease.xml

so it's so difficult

if you make this with flag or some thing it will be helpfull for your issue now

i found this may help Comparing two drawables in android
