No Ripple Effect in RecyclerView

Question

I am using RecyclerView to display quote list Fragment. I am trying to use Ripple effect in list item but its not working. My RecyclerView is like below

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/listQuoteView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/BackColor"
        android:layout_above="@+id/startAppBanner"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />

And List Item XML is like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout

        </LinearLayout>

    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>


</RelativeLayout>

I have tried many solutions listed in stackoverflow but not worked any. If I remove CardView from List Item.... Ripple Effect shows itself behind LinearLayout but I want to use CardView also. Let me know if someone can help me to solve this issue. Thanks.

Note : I have solved it using this solution. Thanks

Answer 1

Create ripple drawable and set it as foreground of your layout

ripple.xml

<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:color="@color/your_color"
    tools:targetApi="lollipop">
    <item android:id="@android:id/mask">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/your_color" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</ripple>

Change your code like this:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">


    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:clickable="true"
        android:foreground="@drawable/ripple"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
        app:cardCornerRadius="6dp"
        app:cardElevation="4dp">

Answer 2

Use android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

Answer 3

Set the ripple as a foreground drawable on the CardView:

android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"

This will allow the ripple to show up above the content inside the CardView, which is usually what you want for a CardView
