Can not add ripple effect on TextView using foreground selectableItemBackground

I tried to add ripple effect on my TextView used as button which has dark background.

I already tried

  1. android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground" on TextView
  2. android:theme="@style/Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" on TextView parent becuase Textview has dark background, also tried light theme.

Also i can not set TextView background as android:background="attr/selectableItemBackground because i need some dark background on textview.

Can someone give me understanding, how can i achieve this requirement.

One can use MaterialButton like this to have ripple effect on click.

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        style="?attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minWidth="0dp"
        android:minHeight="0dp"
        android:paddingHorizontal="@dimen/padding_8dp"
        android:text="Clickable Text"
        android:textColor="your text color"
        app:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
        app:rippleColor="ripple effect color" />

The problem is with Dark theme. Ripple color is not being visible on dark . So you should try to use a Custom theme with .

  <style name="TextViewTheme" parent="@style/Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

Add this theme for TextView.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
    android:foreground="?android:selectableItemBackground"
    android:text="Android"
    android:theme="@style/TextViewTheme"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:textSize="23sp"/>
