AppCompat-v7:21 provides a very useful way of dealing with pressed/focused/activated states maintaining backwards compatibility downto API-7, but there's a small issue (big for some) with the default selectableItemBackground: It uses some PNGs and/or default values for API<21.

The main reason is that android drawable resource definitions (prior API 21) CANNOT use theme attributes at all, so there's no way of making something like:
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="?attr/colorControlHighlight" />
</shape>

For this, I've put this simple mockup on how to give your app better drawables that the appcompat defaults.

Bitmap batmapBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.batman);
RoundedBitmapDrawable circularBitmapDrawable = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getResources(), batmapBitmap);

// option 1 h/t [Chris Banes](https://chris.banes.me/) 
circularBitmapDrawable.setCornerRadius(batmapBitmap.getWidth());

// option 2 h/t @csorgod in the comments
circularBitmapDrawable.setCircular(true);

Summary

Random set of notes and links that have helped me in the saga to get Ubuntu 22.04 up and running on my 2017 MacBook Pro These notes are mainly for myself in the event that I have to do this again some day. But if you find them helpful, that's great.

Important update

Unfortunately the MacBookPro that I bought second hand turned out to be a dud with some serious hardware flaws that didn't show up until a couple of months after I'd bought it.

I've since purhcased another laptop so I'm not going to be able to maintain this GIST.

I'll leave it here for now in case others want to contribute updates, or clone it. If you feel it's out of date or misleading or a waste of time, let me know in the comments and I'll remove it.
