Android - State Selector Animations - Only animate de-press, NOT press

Animations on selector : (my drawables were colors )

De-Press (Out)android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"Press (In)android:enterFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"

Full example:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"      android:enterFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"      android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"><item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent"/><item android:state_checked="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/circle_blue"/></selector>

You can do something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><animated-selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    <item android:id="@+id/selected"        android:state_selected="true"        android:drawable="@color/home_button_blue_down"        />    <item android:id="@+id/usual"        android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"        />    <transition        android:fromId="@+id/usual"        android:toId="@+id/selected" >        <animation-list>            <!--fill in your animation here-->        </animation-list>    </transition></animated-selector>

Keep in mind animated-selector is available only after API 21.
