Android button background color

Question

I am trying to set the background color of a button in my app and I am unable to achieve the result that I want...

The color that I am trying to set is holo_gr

Answer 1

Why not just use setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.holo_light_green))?

Edit: If you want to have something which looks more like an Android button you are going to want to create a gradient and set it as the background. For an example of this, you can check out this question.
