How to change Android button style temporarily after click?

Question

Please, suggest me some good practice to change button background color onclick(for few seconds). I use Android API 22.

Button before click

after click

I ask for help to find out which style control responsible for such things, so I didn't try any code. If you now place in Android style guide where I can find an answer, please point me. — Rudziankoŭ, Jul 12 '15 at 12:15
How about http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setBackgroundResource(int) — ci_, Jul 12 '15 at 12:19
Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it. — runDOSrun, Jul 12 '15 at 12:21

I had a similar issue a few days back, so feel free to use my code.

Button myButton; //as a "global" variable so that it is also recognized in the onClick event.

myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b)
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); //set the color to black
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {        
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED); //set the color to red
        // Delay of 2 seconds (200 ms) before changing back the color to black
        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); //set the color to black
            }
        }, 200);
    }
}

I don't know if this is considered good practice though...

Have a nice day!

I come up with this solution for Android API 21:

@Override
public void onClick(final View view) {
    final int redColor = 0xFFFF0000;
    view.getBackground().setColorFilter(redColor, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
    final Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            view.getBackground().clearColorFilter();
        }
    }, 700);
}
