Android – Selector requires drawable attribute

This piece of code helps.

Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),
                                           R.drawable.icon_resource);

Here a version where the image gets downloaded.

String name = c.getString(str_url);
URL url_value = new URL(name);
ImageView profile = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.vdo_icon);
if (profile != null) {
    Bitmap mIcon1 =
        BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url_value.openConnection().getInputStream());
    profile.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);
}

I remember that I worked around this error by using state drawable instead of state color. For some reason layout background just doesn't work with stateful colors. So try creating a stateful drawable (for example list of shape drawables with different colors) and use it as background.

res/drawable/pressed.xml:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
   <solid android:color="#ff33ffff" />
 </shape>

res/drawable/normal.xml:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
   <solid android:color="#ff000000" />
 </shape>

res/drawable/background.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/pressed" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/normal" />
</selector>

Then use background.xml drawable as background :)
