Question Detail

Eventually solved my problem using a state list animator. For the rounded corners i used Rishad Appat's solution. I provided some xml-codes below. Just apply the style buttonTest1 to your button, and it should work.

styles.xml

<style name="buttonTest1" parent="android:style/Widget.Material.Button">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/button1_background</item>
    <item name="android:stateListAnimator">@anim/buttons_state_list_animator</item>
</style>

buttons_state_list_animator.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:state_enabled="true">
        <set>
            <objectAnimator
                android:propertyName="translationZ"
                android:duration="@integer/button_duration"
                android:valueTo="@dimen/button_rise"
                android:valueType="floatType" />
            <objectAnimator
                android:propertyName="elevation"
                android:duration="0"
                android:valueTo="@dimen/button_elevation"
                android:valueType="floatType" />
        </set>
    </item>

    <item
        android:state_enabled="true">
        <set>
            <objectAnimator
                android:propertyName="translationZ"
                android:duration="@integer/button_duration"
                android:valueTo="0"
                android:startDelay="@integer/button_duration"
                android:valueType="floatType" />
            <objectAnimator
                android:propertyName="elevation"
                android:duration="0"
                android:valueTo="@dimen/button_elevation"
                android:valueType="floatType" />
        </set>
    </item>

    <item>
        <set>
            <objectAnimator

                android:valueTo="0"

            <objectAnimator
