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 value in the XML like this:

Here, you can add any other color, from the resources or hex.

Similarly, you can also change these values form the code like this:

demoButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

Another easy way is to make a drawable, customize the corners and shape according to your preference and set the background color and stroke of the drawable. For eg.

button_background.xml

And then set this shape as the background of your button.

Hope this helps, good luck!
