Android: textColor of disabled button in selector not showing?

You need to also create a ColorStateList for text colors identifying different states.

Do the following:

1. Create another XML file in res\color named something like text_color.xml.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">  <!-- disabled state -->  <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="#9D9FA2" />   <item android:color="#000"/></selector>

2. In your style.xml, put a reference to that text_color.xml file as follows:

   <style name="buttonStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">  <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>  <item name="android:textColor">@color/text_color</item>  <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item></style>

This should resolve your issue.

1.Create a color folder in /res/ folder and in color folder create on xml:

text_color_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- disabled state --> <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="#776678" />  <item android:color="#ffffff"/></selector>

2.Now Create a xml layout:-

 <Button        android:id="@+id/button_search"        android:layout_width="652dp"        android:layout_height="48dp"        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"        android:layout_marginTop="18dp"        android:background="@android:color/transparent"        android:text="Hello Bhaskar"        android:textColor="@color/text_color_selector"/>  

The most easy solution is to set color filter to the background image of and button as I saw here

You can do as follow:

if ('need to set button disable')    button.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.GRAY, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);else    button.getBackground().setColorFilter(null);

Hope I helped someone...
