Android button background color

If you want to keep the general styling (rounded corners etc.) and just change the background color then I use the backgroundTint property

android:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_green_light"

This is my way to do custom Button with different color.`

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ><stroke android:width="3dp"        android:color="#80FFFFFF" />  <corners android:radius="25dp" />  <gradient android:angle="270"            android:centerColor="#90150517"            android:endColor="#90150517"            android:startColor="#90150517" /></shape>

This way you set as background.

<Button android:id="@+id/button"        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:text="Button"        android:layout_marginBottom="25dp"        android:layout_centerInParent="true"        android:background="@drawable/button"/>

If you don't mind hardcoding it you can do this ~> android:background="#eeeeee" and drop any hex color # you wish.

Looks like this....

<Button    android:id="@+id/button1"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"    android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"    android:text="@string/ClickMe"    android:background="#fff"/>
