When using Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar style, setting Button Background has no effect

Question

In order to use Chip and ChipGroup, I set Application style extends Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar int manifests.xml, then I set Button \"android:backg

Answer 1

In this particular case, the LinearLayout holding your second Button seems to have a white background color. That means you don't need to explicitly specify a white background for your Button; you can just let the LinearLayout's background show through.

This can be accomplished by using the "Text Button" style of MaterialButton:

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton"
