How to change the color of a button?

Question

I\'m new to android programming. How do I change the color of a button?

Answer 1

You can change the colour two ways; through XML or through coding. I would recommend XML since it's easier to follow for beginners.

XML:

You can also use hex values ex.

android:background="@android:color/white"

Coding:

//btn represents your button object

btn.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
btn.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
