how do you make the button click more visible like the press animation while having a xml drawable resource file set as a background on the button.when you add a background to the button, it isn't clear that whether the button has been pressed or not. So, any solution for that?

my drawable resource file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#ca8924" />
            <corners
                android:radius="5dp"
                />

        </shape>


    </item>
    <item android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="3dp" android:bottom="3dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners
                android:radius="5dp"
                />
            <solid android:color="#5c5656">

            </solid>
        </shape>
    </item>

</layer-list>

Paste this code into an xml file under drawables folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
    <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
        <corners android:radius="10dp" />
        <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#33ff33" />
        <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#00ff00" android:endColor="#1aff1a"  />
    </shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
        <corners android:radius="10dp" />
        <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#33ff33" />
        <solid android:color="#1aff1a"/>
    </shape>
</item>
<item >
    <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
        <corners android:radius="10dp" />
        <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#33ff33" />
        <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#66ff66" android:endColor="#4dff4d" />
    </shape>
</item>
