Changing the textColor when the state changes in TextView in Android -

hey trying change textcolor in textview when user press it. trying make hyperlink button in windows 8. have selector in res/color folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >     <item android:state_hovered="true">         <color android:color="@color/darkblue"/>     </item>     <item  android:state_pressed="true">         <color android:color="@color/lightblue"/>     </item>     <item android:color="@color/black"/> <!-- default color --> </selector> 

and use this

<textview         android:id="@+id/tw_language"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_alignbaseline="@+id/language_label"         android:layout_marginright="3dp"         android:clickable="true"         android:autolink="all"         android:text="@string/default_language_label"         android:textcolor="@color/language_button"          /> 

in activity when reference textview set mlanguage.setpaintflags(mlanguage.getpaintflags() | paint.underline_text_flag);

to underlined text. , app crashes using this. if set

android:background="@color/language_button" 

instead of textcolor works fine. know doing wrong?

you need add attribute textview below

<textview     android:id="@+id/txtresult"     style="@drawable/language_button"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> 

style="@drawable/language_button" selector file. have defined file in drawable/stack.xml directory.
