handle states with drawables (gradients) instead of color (solid color)

To handle states with drawables, such as gradients, instead of solid colors in Android, you can use a StateListDrawable. This allows you to define different drawables for different states of a view (e.g., pressed, focused, default). Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

Steps to Handle States with Drawables: Create Drawable Resources: Create XML files for each drawable you want to use for different states (e.g., gradient drawables).

Define StateListDrawable: Create a StateListDrawable resource that references the drawables for different states.

Apply StateListDrawable: Set the StateListDrawable as the background of the view.
