Android Using layer-list for button selector

Step-1
create three different layer_list xml under drawable folder for three different state of button. example the name of those xml is layer1.xml, layer2.xml, layer3.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >
    <item>
        <shape
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle"
            >

            <gradient
                android:angle="270"
                android:startColor="#0000ff"
                android:endColor="#0000dd"
