Programmatically create a glossy 3d button

Question

I already have Google, but I can’t find a good hint on how to create buttons in android that look like glossy shiny buttons with a slight 3D effect. See Figure:

How can I program this? Any hints? Thanks!

Create a selector like this and apply it to your button. Customize it according to your requirements:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item> <shape> <gradient android:endColor="#0905FB" android:startColor="#9796FD" android:angle="270" /> <stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#65655B" /> <corners android:radius="3dp" /> <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:bottom="10dp" /> </shape> </item> <item android:state_focused="true" > ... ... ... </item> <item android:state_pressed="true" > ... ... ... </item> </selector>
