Android : change button text and background color
Since API level 21 you can use :
android:backgroundTint="@android:color/white"
you only have to add this in your xml
I think doing this way is much simpler:
button.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
And you need to import android.graphics.Color;
not: import android.R.color;
Or you can just write the 4-byte hex code (not 3-byte) 0xFF000000
where the first byte is setting the alpha.
Here is an example of a drawable that will be white by default, black when pressed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape>
<solid
android:color="#1E669B"/>
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#1B5E91"/>
<corners
android:radius="6dp"/>
<padding
android:bottom="10dp"
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#1E669B"
android:startColor="#1E669B"/>
<stroke
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#1B5E91"/>
<corners
android:radius="7dp"/>
<padding
android:bottom="10dp"
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
