Closed 3 months ago.
i want to add button color but it didnt show up
here is the drawable
rounded_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#47D476"/>
<corners android:radius="15dp"/>
</shape>
and this the layout
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOKE"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button"
android:text="SUBMIT"
/>
how to set the colors it didnt change to green
color from the rounded_button.xml
the result
thank you.

You should set #null at backgroundTint .
app:backgroundTint="#null"
Final Button xml code:
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOKE"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="SUBMIT"
app:backgroundTint="#null"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
/>

You can try adding the following code to the button.
app:backgroundTint="#null"

You can use textview instead of button like this
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvDiscount"
style="#style/txt_white_small"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start
android:background="#drawable/discount_horizontal"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:text="" />
You can apply color and shape both things at once

How to add border in Floating action button in Android

I was trying to build something like the below image:
Here is my xml code:
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab_scan"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/vector_nav_qr_scanner"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/white"
app:layout_anchor="#id/bottom_app_bar" />
I was searching a lot but couldn't figure out how can I add the light blue background with a white circle border and also an icon in the center. Can any one help?

Try this:
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:backgroundTint="#B1E4F6" //inner background color
android:src="#drawable/scan"
app:backgroundTint="#color/white" //outer background color (border color)
app:borderWidth="8dp"
app:maxImageSize="16dp" //inner icon size
app:tint="#android:color/holo_blue_dark" /> //inner icon color
Result:

Add
app.strokeColor = "#000033"
app.strokeWidth = "3dp"
in your floating action button xml..
for example:
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab_scan"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/vector_nav_qr_scanner"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/white"
app:layout_anchor="#id/bottom_app_bar"
app:strokeColor = "#000033"
app:strokeWidth = "3dp" />
edit: app:strokewidth and app:strokeColor is working for ExtendedFloatingActionButton. Sorry, that's my fault.
You can use
app:borderWidth="4dp" in stead of app:strokeWidth = "3dp". remove strokeColor. there showes little border.
i hope it will help you.
please let me know if it doesn't work.
OR
define custom shape in drawable folder
fab_bg.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="2"
android:useLevel="false" >
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<!-- here set the width and color of your border -->
<stroke
android:width="5dp"
android:color="#android:color/darker_gray" />
</shape>
then wrap your FloatingActionButton with a layout. use fab_bg.xml file in layout's background.
for example:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/fabWrapperId"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/fab_bg"
android:padding="5dp">
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab_scan"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/vector_nav_qr_scanner"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/white"
app:layout_anchor="#id/bottom_app_bar"
app:fabSize="normal" />
</LinearLayout>
NB: make sure your stroke width from fab_bg and layout padding keep the same.

Can not apply shape to button

i have a strange issue. I created a simple Button which looks like that :
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/continue_button"
android:background="#drawable/green_button_selector"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="#dimen/landing_margin"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/landing_margin"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/landing_margin"
android:text="#string/login_button_text"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
I want to make Button green with rounded corners, so I created a xml file called green_button_selector and set is as button background. This file code's is posted below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:padding="10dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorGreenButton" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
But instead of my button getting green it has colorAccent of my app, any ideas what am I doing wrong?

If you are using material button you don't need to create custom drawable.
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button"
android:textAppearance="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
app:cornerRadius="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:text="BUTTON" />
More: https://material.io/develop/android/components/material-button/

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/material_text_button"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/outlined_button_label_enabled"/>
You can below property for same.
app:cornerRadius
app:backgroundTint

Inline alignment title in circular custom button

I created a simple circular button to create - and + buttons for a custom dialog picker.
As seen in the screenshot the - and the + are shifted a little bit down and not centered in the middle of the custom background.
My custom background in the drawable/circular_button.xml looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark" android:width="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
<size android:width="30sp" android:height="30sp"/>
</shape>
The button is configured like this inside the LinearLayout
<Button
android:id="#+id/decrease_one"
android:layout_width="40sp"
android:layout_height="40sp"
android:layout_marginRight="20sp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button"
android:text="-"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
In one of the posts I read about the tag minHeight but it didn't solve my problem.Any ideas ?

Batter to use FloatingActionButton mini
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/activity_my_digital_executor_fabDigitalex"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
card_view:fabSize="mini"
card_view:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_new_plus" />
Add 'com.android.support:design:26.0.+' in your App dependencies

This is happen because of your Button's android:textSize="30sp" if you set 50sp its goes down the line more,
Just convert your Buttons to Textviews and set android:gravity="center" also keep your textsize 30sp
<TextView
android:id="#+id/decrease_2"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button"
android:text="+"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />

If you are use a Imageview instead of Textview than your problem is solved.

Android: combining text & image on a Button or ImageButton

I'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image.
If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text.
If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android:drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display).
Any suggestions on how to do this? One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw()-method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?

For users who just want to put Background, Icon-Image and Text in one Button from different files: Set on a Button background, drawableTop/Bottom/Rigth/Left and padding attributes.
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/home_btn_test"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/home_icon_test"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="#+id/ButtonTest"
android:paddingTop="32sp"
android:drawablePadding="-15sp"
android:text="this is text"></Button>
For more sophisticated arrangement you also can use RelativeLayout (or any other layout) and make it clickable.
Tutorial: Great tutorial that covers both cases: http://izvornikod.com/Blog/tabid/82/EntryId/8/Creating-Android-button-with-image-and-text-using-relative-layout.aspx

There's a much better solution for this problem.
Just take a normal Button and use the drawableLeft and the gravity attributes.
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/my_btn_icon"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical" />
This way you get a button which displays a icon in the left side of the button and the text at the right site of the icon vertical centered.

You can call setBackground() on a Button to set the background of the button.
Any text will appear above the background.
If you are looking for something similar in xml there is:
android:background attribute which works the same way.

<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/home_button"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_menu_edit"
android:drawablePadding="6dp"
android:gravity="left|center"
android:height="60dp"
android:padding="6dp"
android:text="AndroidDhina"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textStyle="bold" />

Just use a LinearLayout and pretend it's a Button - setting background and clickable is the key:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:drawable/btn_default"
android:clickable="true"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/image" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:text="Do stuff" />
</LinearLayout>

just replace
android:background="#drawable/icon"
with
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/[your background image here]"
izz a pretty good trick.. ;)

I took a different approach from the ones stated here, and it is working really well, so I wanted to share it.
I'm using a Style to create a custom button with image at the left and text at the center-right. Just follow the 4 "easy steps" below:
I. Create your 9 patches using at least 3 different PNG files and the tool you have at: /YOUR_OWN_PATH/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/./draw9patch. After this you should have:
button_normal.9.png, button_focused.9.png and button_pressed.9.png
Then download or create a 24x24 PNG icon.
ic_your_icon.png
Save all in the drawable/ folder on your Android project.
II. Create a XML file called button_selector.xml in your project under the drawable/ folder. The states should be like this:
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/button_pressed" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#drawable/button_focused" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_normal" />
III. Go to the values/ folder and open or create the styles.xml file and create the following XML code:
<style name="ButtonNormalText" parent="#android:style/Widget.Button">
<item name="android:textColor" >#color/black</item>
<item name="android:textSize" >12dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle" >bold</item>
<item name="android:height" >44dip</item>
<item name="android:background" >#drawable/button_selector</item>
<item name="android:focusable" >true</item>
<item name="android:clickable" >true</item>
</style>
<style name="ButtonNormalTextWithIcon" parent="ButtonNormalText">
<item name="android:drawableLeft" >#drawable/ic_your_icon</item>
</style>
ButtonNormalTextWithIcon is a "child style" because it is extending ButtonNormalText (the "parent style").
Note that changing the drawableLeft in the ButtonNormalTextWithIcon style, to drawableRight, drawableTop or drawableBottom you can place the icon in other position with respect to the text.
IV. Go to the layout/ folder where you have your XML for the UI and go to the Button where you want to apply the style and make it look like this:
<Button android:id="#+id/buttonSubmit"
android:text="#string/button_submit"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/ButtonNormalTextWithIcon" ></Button>
And... voilà! You got your button with an image at the left side.
For me, this is the better way to do it! because doing it this way you can manage the text size of the button separately from the icon you want to display and use the same background drawable for several buttons with different icons respecting the Android UI Guidelines using styles.
You can also create a theme for your App and add the "parent style" to it so all the buttons look the same, and apply the "child style" with the icon only where you need it.

Important Update
Don't use normal android:drawableLeft etc... with vector drawables, else it
will crash in lower API versions. (I have faced it in live app)
For vector drawable
If you are using vector drawable, then you must
Have you migrated to AndroidX? if not you must migrate to AndroidX first. It is very simple, see what is androidx, and how to migrate?
It was released in version 1.1.0-alpha01, so appcompat version should be at least 1.1.0-alpha01. Current latest version is 1.1.0-alpha02, use latest versions for better reliability, see release notes - link.
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-alpha02'
Use AppCompatTextView/AppCompatButton/AppCompatEditText
Use app:drawableLeftCompat, app:drawableTopCompat, app:drawableRightCompat, app:drawableBottomCompat, app:drawableStartCompat and app:drawableEndCompat
For regular drawable
If you don't need vector drawable, then you can
use android:drawableLeft, android:drawableRight, android:drawableBottom, android:drawableTop
You can use either regular TextView, Button & EditText or AppCompat classes.
You can achieve Output like below -

<Button android:id="#+id/imeageTextBtn"
android:layout_width="240dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Side Icon With Text Button"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/left_side_icon"
/>

You can use drawableTop (also drawableLeft, etc) for the image and set text below the image by adding the gravity left|center_vertical
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_video"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#null"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/videos"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:onClick="onClickFragment"
android:text="Videos"
android:textColor="#color/white" />

MaterialButton has support for setting an icon and aligning it to the text:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My button"
app:icon="#drawable/your_icon"
app:iconGravity="textStart"
/>
app:iconGravity can also be to start / end if you want to align the icon to the button instead of the text inside it.
Since version 1.5.0-beta01, app:iconGravity can also be top / textTop (commit)

<Button
android:id="#+id/groups_button_bg"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="Groups"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/[image]" />
android:drawableLeft
android:drawableRight
android:drawableBottom
android:drawableTop

Probably my solution will suit for a lot of users, I hope so.
What I am suggesting it is making TextView with your style. It works for me perfectly, and has got all features, like a button.
First of all lets make button style, which you can use everywhere...I am creating button_with_hover.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#8dbab3" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#48608F" android:endColor="#48608F" />
</shape>
<!--#284682;-->
<!--border-color: #223b6f;-->
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#284682" />
<solid android:color="#284682"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#color/ControlColors" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#color/ControlColors" android:endColor="#color/ControlColors" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Secondly,
Lets create a textview button.
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"
android:layout_gravity="right|bottom"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="12dip"
android:background="#drawable/button_with_hover"
android:clickable="true"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/btn_star_big_off"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"
android:text="Golden Gate" />
And this is a result. Then style your custom button with any colors or any other properties and margins. Good luck

This code works for me perfectly
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/choosePhotosView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center"
android:clickable="true"
android:background="#drawable/transparent_button_bg_rev_selector">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/choose_photo"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="#string/choose_photos_tv"/>
</LinearLayout>

To combine Button and drawableTop and still get the click response, you can use button style #style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless to make it transparent.
<Button
android:id="#+id/settings"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/ic_baseline_settings_24"
android:drawableTint="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:text="#string/settings"
android:textColor="?attr/colorPrimary" />

<Button android:id="#+id/myButton"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Image Button"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/myimage"
/>
Or you can programmatically:
Drawable drawable = getResources.getDrawable(R.drawable.myimage);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, 60, 60);
myButton.setCompoundDrawables(null, drawable, null, null);//to the Top of the Button

You can use this:
<Button
android:id="#+id/reset_all"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/btn_med"
android:text="Reset all"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/undo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/btn_med"
android:text="Undo"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />
in that i have put an image as background and also added text..!

Make a fake button.
It's really the only way
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fake_button"
android:layout_width=" .. "
android:layout_height=" .. "
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="tappedNext">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/fake_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/your_amazing_drawable" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/fake_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Next"
android:fontFamily="#font/ .. "
android:textColor="#color/ .. "
android:textSize=" .. " />
</FrameLayout>

<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/temp"
/>
