View.setBackgroundResource() is not setting the correct background resource

I am coding a "set pin" fragment for the second time and it's not working. Everything works great until I use switch blocks and View.OnTouchListener. I am trying to change the buttons background resource to a different drawable when pressed down and then back when finger is lifted.
My problem is that the background resource is not changing at all.

<color name="secondary_accent">#711930</color>
</resources>
Just to clarify one more time. When I press a button (for example pin7) the system prints "down" to the console but the background does not change one bit. When I release I get "up" in the console. So it works as intended except for the background.
I have tried
changing the setBacgroundResource to setBackroundColor and same outcome.

I have spent 2 hours and am trying to find out why the setBackgroundResource() is not working. I added some modification on the shape and I noticed that the change only made on the dimensions except the Color. So I created a style to eliminate the Tinte I put the backgroundTint on #null and everything works correctly.
here is the style I added
<style name="NotTintedButton" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="backgroundTint">#null</item>
</style>
And all you have to do is apply this style on each buttons. for example :
<Button
style="#style/NotTintedButton"
android:id="#+id/pin8"
android:layout_width="#dimen/button_1_width"
android:layout_height="#dimen/button_1_height"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/button_1_margin"
android:background="#color/primary_dark"
android:fontFamily="#font/slatebook"
android:padding="0dp"
android:text="8"
android:textColor="#color/primary_light"
android:textSize="22sp" />

Creating a fixed size circle view in android studio

So I have a bit of a frustrating one for me. What I would like to achieve is essentially a button that has two textviews in the center of it. One with a name and one with a number value to it... Like a counter...
I would like it to look like this:
There is a thin white border around it (which given it's colour isn't exactly visible... sorry).
What I'd like to do is have the value increment and decrement depending on how the button is pressed.
Now I have the following so far:
attrs.xml
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="ButtonCounter">
<attr name="backgroundColor" format="color"/>
<attr name="borderColor" format="color"/>
<attr name="borderSize" format="integer"/>
<attr name="labelNameColor" format="color"/>
<attr name="labelValueColor" format="color"/>
<attr name="labelName" format="string"></attr>
<attr name="labelValue" format="string"></attr>
</declare-styleable>
ButtonCounter.java
public class ButtonCounter extends View {
private int backgroundColor,
borderColor,
borderSize,
labelNameColor,
labelValueColor;
private String labelName,
labelValue;
private Paint paintCircle,
paintStroke;
public ButtonCounter(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context);
paintCircle = new Paint();
paintStroke = new Paint();
TypedArray a = context.getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(
attrs,
R.styleable.ButtonCounter
,
0,
0
);
try {
backgroundColor = a.getInteger(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_backgroundColor, 0);
borderColor = a.getInteger(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_borderColor, 0);
borderSize = a.getInteger(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_borderSize, 0);
labelNameColor = a.getInteger(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_labelNameColor,0);
labelValueColor = a.getInteger(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_labelValueColor, 0 );
labelName = a.getString(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_labelName);
labelValue = a.getString(R.styleable.ButtonCounter_labelValue);
} finally {
a.recycle();
}
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
paintCircle.setColor(backgroundColor);
paintCircle.setAntiAlias(true);
paintStroke.setColor(borderColor);
paintStroke.setAntiAlias(true);
int width = this.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = this.getMeasuredHeight();
int diameter = ((height > width) ? height : width);
int radius = diameter / 2;
canvas.drawCircle(diameter / 2, diameter / 2, radius - borderSize, paintCircle);
canvas.drawCircle(diameter / 2, diameter / 2, radius, paintStroke);
}
}
This doesn't do what I want it to already as it becomes way too big.
Any ideas on how I could start attempting this?
Thanks!

Hi If you want to achieve the same without using Java Class then see the below solution:
Create a drawable with any name lets circle_bg_xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/black" />
</shape>
Now in your layout use put two TextViews(or any view) inside LinearLayout and set that drawable as Layout background.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/circle_bg">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Global"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="0"/>
</LinearLayout>
Hope it will help you.
Thanks

XML TypedArray only Displaying first image

This is my first attempt with TypedArrays and I believe I've written my code correctly, but for some reason I am only able to see the first image in my array. I have a loop that should be displaying the images repeatedly.
My activity.xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<item>#drawable/musicon3</item>
<item>#drawable/musicon4</item>
<item>#drawable/musicon5</item>
</array>
</resources>
and my activity.java
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
public class HomeScreen extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageButton musicEnable_ImageButton;
Handler musicIcon_animate = new Handler();
int ArrayPos = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_screen);
final TypedArray musicIcons = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.musicIcon);
for(ArrayPos =0;ArrayPos<5;ArrayPos++) {
musicIcons.getResourceId(ArrayPos, -1);
}
ArrayPos = 0;
musicEnable_ImageButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.soundEnable_button);
musicEnable_ImageButton.setImageResource(musicIcons.getResourceId(ArrayPos,-1));
musicIcons.recycle();
musicEnable_ImageButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v){
ArrayPos = 1;
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
musicEnable_ImageButton.setImageResource(musicIcons.getResourceId(ArrayPos,-1));
musicIcons.recycle();
if(ArrayPos < 5) {
ArrayPos++;
}
else{
ArrayPos = 1;
}
Log.d("test", "timer fired");
musicIcon_animate.postDelayed(this, 1);
}
};
musicIcon_animate.postDelayed(runnable, 1);
}
});
}

You can only see the first image because you are recycling your musicIcons TypedArray after you set the first image. TypedArray.recycle() removes all of the references to the resources in the array, making it an empty array. You want to do this, but only after you've gotten what you need from the array.
In your case, since you are using the resources over a period of time, I would suggest doing something like this:
List<Integer> musicIcons = new ArrayList<>();
final TypedArray typedArray = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.musicIcon);
for(int i = 0; i < typedArray.length(); i++) {
musicIcons.add(typedArray.getResourceId(i, -1);
}
typedArray.recycle();
Then set the ImageView resource like this:
musicEnable_ImageButton.setBackgroundResource(musicIcons.get(ArrayPos));
But, I also noticed that it looks like you are just trying to animate the icon, in which case, you should look into using an AnimationDrawable. In this way you can just create a drawable XML file:
<animation-list android:id="#+id/selected" android:oneshot="true">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/musicoff" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/musicon1" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/musicon2" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/musicon3" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/musicon4" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/musicon5" android:duration="50" />
</animation-list>
Then set the image resource to this animation-list, and animate it:
musicEnable_ImageButton.setImageResource(R.id.sound_button);
AnimationDrawable frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) musicEnable_ImageButton.getBackground();
frameAnimation.start();
On API 21+ it is even easier, you can create an AnimatedStateListDrawable to wrap your animation-list (or lists). Then set android:button attribute of a RadioButton to the AnimatedStateListDrawable and watch it animate as you call setChecked().

Android: EditText in CustomView not behaving as expected when touched

I have a CustomView which contains a LinearLayout that holds an EditText & another custom view element. However, when I run my app and touch the EditText it does not behave as expected (doesn't appear to receive focus & the soft keyboard doesn't open). I've tried setting duplicateParentState="true" on both the EditText & the LinearLayout. I also attached an onTouchEventListener to the EditText that calls a simple toast & the toast did show up.
Here's the code for my CustomView.

EDIT:
I got this logcat message today while testing long presses on my FormFields.
W/TextView﹕ TextView does not support text selection. Action mode cancelled.
I double checked my code and the EditText element is only ever cast as an EditText. If the EditText is being cast to a TextView that would explain my original issues but now I'm confused as to why or how it was cast as a TextView.

It looks like you are extending LinearLayout but never using it in your layout. From what you've posted, you aren't using the FormField at all and the only custom View I see is the ValidationIcon view. So hooking the touch events into EditText and ValidationIcon aren't occurring because you aren't using FormField in your layout.xml.
Rather than extending LinearLayout, why not just use the predefined methods and attributes to handle the behaviour you are trying to achieve. For example, displaying keyboard, requesting focus, and displaying hint:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
**android:inputType="text"**
**android:hint="#styleable/FormField_fieldInputHint"**
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#2d6169"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:background="#color/transparent" />
The keyboard should display when the edit text receives focus, if not you could programmatically do this by requesting focus and handling the IME manager call. For example, from the Activity/Fragment:
//call this from onViewCreated to grab focus and begin the flow
editText.requestFocus();
//set focus listener to handle keyboard display
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (!hasFocus) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
} else {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});

Make sure have not been setting inputType:'none' or '0X000000'

use this code for custom Edittext with title

R.styleable cannot be resolved

hai friends...my java file indicate this error:
R.styleable cannot be resolved....
my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Gallery xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/videoGrdVw"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:numColumns="auto_fit"
android:verticalSpacing="5dip"
android:horizontalSpacing="5dip"
android:columnWidth="80dip"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
android:gravity="center"/>
<ImageSwitcher
android:id="#+id/switcher"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
</ImageSwitcher>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="HelloGallery">
<attr name="android:galleryItemBackground" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
</LinearLayout>
source code:
private class VideoGalleryAdapter extends BaseAdapter
{
private int itemBackground;
public VideoGalleryAdapter(Context c)
{
_context = c;
TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.Gallery1);
itemBackground = a.getResourceId(
R.styleable.Gallery1_android_galleryItemBackground, 0);
a.recycle();
}

create an xml file under values folder, with the name attributes.xml and copy below contents to it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="Gallery1">
<attr name="android:galleryItemBackground"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
This should work.

According to this forum thread you need to change:
TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.Gallery1);
to
TypedArray a = c.obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.Gallery1);

For me, this did the trick:
import android.R;
