Android button background color - android

I am trying to set the background color of a button in my app and I am unable to achieve the result that I want...
The color that I am trying to set is holo_green_light(#ff99cc00). In order to do it, I am using setColorFilter(0xff99cc00, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
The color that I get is not the holo_green_light but a mix of lightgrey and holo_green_light.
I have tried using the LightingColorFilter without much success.
Is there a way to do it programatically, so that the button appears like a button and not a flat rectangle with the color that I need.

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 a 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"/>

Create /res/drawable/button.xml with the following content :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<!-- you can use any color you want I used here gray color-->
<solid android:color="#90EE90"/>
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="3dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="3dp"
android:topLeftRadius="3dp"
android:topRightRadius="3dp"/>
</shape>
And then you can use the following :
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_save_prefs"
android:text="#string/save"
android:background="#drawable/button"/>

Just use a MaterialButton and the app:backgroundTint attribute:
<MaterialButton
app:backgroundTint="#color/my_color_selector"

Why not just use setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.holo_light_green))?
Edit: If you want to have something which looks more like an Android button you are going to want to create a gradient and set it as the background. For an example of this, you can check out this question.

No need to be that hardcore.
Try this :
YourButtonObject.setBackground(0xff99cc00);

Try this
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="34dp"
android:text="Check Out"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:background="#54c2bc"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="9sp"/>

In order to keep the style, use:
int color = Color.parseColor("#99cc00");
button.getBackground().mutate().setColorFilter(new PorterDuffColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC));

In addition to Mark Proctor's answer:
If you want to keep the default styling, but have a conditional coloring on the button, just set the backgroundTint property like so:
android:backgroundTint="#drawable/styles_mybutton"
Create the associated file /res/drawable/styles_mybutton.xml, then use the following template and change the colors as per your tastes:
<?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="#android:color/white">
</item>
<!-- Default state-->
<item
android:color="#cfc">
</item>
</selector>

try this
app:backgroundTint="#color/colorGreen"

With version 1.2.0-alpha06 of material design library, now we can use android:background="..." on MaterialButton components:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:background="#fff"
...
/>

Customise Android SwitchCompat

In my Android app, I have a list with a SwitchCompat to filter the list data. The default theme can't serve my purpose what I need is a iOS like switch. I have no idea how can I customize it to look exactly like the iOS switch. Thanks for reading.
<androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
android:id="#+id/switch_1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#xml/custom_switch_background_main"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.SwitchOverlay"/>
This is what I have archived so far
custom_switch_background_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="#xml/custom_switch_background" />
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="#xml/custom_switch_background" />
</selector>
custom_switch_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="50dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/hello" />
</shape>
This is what I want
You can achieve something like:
with the standard MaterialButtonToggleGroup:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:selectionRequired="true"
app:singleSelection="true">
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.rounded"
style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="ITEM1"/>
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.rounded"
style="?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="ITEM2"/>
</com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup>
with:
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
</style>
If you want the border you can wrap the MaterialButtonToggleGroup in a container (LinearLayout, CardView....) applying a stroke a small padding.
If you want the button with rounded corners on both side you can check something like this question.
I think you should use sliding tab layout instead of switchcompat to fulfill your requirement. I have found one third party library that's looks like same switch as you want.
Click Here to Use This Library
I achieved the design by using a custom vector (and the text inside was a mask) which was replacement for the switch’s state indicator. then I changed the switch compat background vector with a custom border design as well to achieve the border. I’ll update this answer again soon.

AppCompatButton getting flat after change the background color

I just updated my android Studio and every time that I try to change the background color of AppCompatButton the layout gets flat and looses the ripple effect, it wasn't like that.
And normal :
In my old project, works fine too!
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="Login"
android:layout_marginEnd="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="17dp"
android:textColor="#color/primaryDarkColor"
android:layout_marginStart="50dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="12dp"
android:text="Logar"
android:focusable="true" />
A good way to change your buttons background and keep the ripple effect is to create a separate drawable for them.
So you would create a default_button_background.xml with some pre-defined colors
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/button_ripple_color">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="#dimen/button_corner_radius" />
<solid android:color="#color/buttonBackground" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
Then you can assign this drawable to your button background like:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/default_button_background"/>

Background drawable not applying to button

I am trying to create a capsule/pill shaped button in XML. I have defined a drawable and set it as the background of my button, but in the preview, and when I run the app, it's displaying as a blue rectangle, despite the background drawable being a white oval. Does anyone know why that might be happening?
Here's the button:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/search_box"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:background="#drawable/button_capsule"
android:text="#string/search"
android:textColor="#color/precipLightBlue"/>
And here's the background drawable:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
</shape>
To have a capsule/pill shaped button you can use the MaterialButton in the official Material Component library using the app:cornerRadius attribute.
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="100dp"
app:cornerRadius="32dp"
..../>
With the version 1.1.0 you can also customize the shape of your component using the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
....
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.ButtonRounded"
.../>
In the style define:
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.ButtonRounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">32dp</item>
</style>
You can also try to use the ExtendedFloatingActionButton:
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/exfab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
.... />
You put a shape that you didn't defined. To define an oval you should put the shape="oval" option in the tag. Although i think you want a rectangle with rounded corners as i see in your code.
Also 1000dp radius is a lot, maybe that's making an issue.
Define size too. Because that shape doesn't have any size and may not appear as you are using wrap_content in the button definition
Try this:
<corners android:radius="30dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
<size
android:width="200dp"
android:height="50dp"/>
If you want an oval remove the corners tag and add android:shape="oval" as property of shape tag
Here is the code regarding button drawable background.
Xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center|top"
android:background="#color/colorLightPurple">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:background="#drawable/button_bg"
android:text="Search"
android:textColor="#color/colorBlue"/>
</LinearLayout>
For button background , please add same drawable file
seems like you're doing everything right. Just a small addition, try adding android:shape="rectangle" in the shape tag.
This is what button_capsule.xml should look like.
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
</shape>
Hope this works. All the best.
In Material design version 1.2.0 they have fixed this issue and added a property for setting background for Material Button
here is the dependency for the latest version
com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0
and also if u want to remove the space between the drawable top and bottom so that the drawable get the whole width and height use these 2 properties
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
if want to explore more about the properties u can refer to the release of library and can check all the properties.
https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/releases/tag/1.2.0
use this.
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
.....
/>

how to apply ripple effect on textview when already background set

I want to apply ripple effect when any item click. But I can't apply each and every item
android:background="#color/tabColor"
background already set so how to use following code
android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mistake_btn_tv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#color/tabColor"
android:gravity="center"
android:requiresFadingEdge="none"
android:text=""
android:textColor="#color/md_white_1000"
android:textSize="#dimen/txt_20"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:typeface="monospace"/>
I expect both are working there, my background "tabColor" and also ripple effect
You can use a custom drawable file for ripple effect. Here I am sharing code with you. Just implement that code. Hope it will work fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:color="#color/colorAccent"
tools:ignore="NewApi">
<item android:id="#android:id/background">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/white"/>
<corners
android:radius="5dp"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/gray_text"/>
<padding android:left="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
and set it to background:-
android:background="#drawable/border_ripple_gray"
You should use android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground" for ripple effect.
when you have set background already do this in your TextView XML code.
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
use this library for best ripple effect..
link
Add this line in your style.xml
<item name="android:colorControlHighlight" tools:targetApi="lollipop">#color/backgroundWhite</item>
and use view property:-
android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
I am late to the party but above solutions are not working for me. So I am using MaterialButton like this,
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="?attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minWidth="0dp"
android:minHeight="0dp"
android:paddingHorizontal="#dimen/padding_8dp"
android:text="Clickable Text"
android:textColor="your text color"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/transparent"
app:rippleColor="ripple effect color" />
Here, style="?attr/buttonBarButtonStyle" and app:backgroundTint="#android:color/transparent" will make this button as transparent background so that it will look like TextView and everything else will be done automatically.

Custom circle button

I want to create custom button and I need it to be circle. How can I create a circle button?
I do not think that be possible with draw9patch.
Also I do not know how to make custom button!
Do you have any suggestion?
Use xml drawable like this:
Save the following contents as round_button.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#fa09ad"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#c20586"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Android Material Effect: Although FloatingActionButton is a better option, If you want to do it using xml selector, create a folder drawable-v21 in res and save another round_button.xml there with following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#c20586">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#fa09ad"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
And set it as background of Button in xml like this:
<Button
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:text="hello"
android:textColor="#fff" />
Important:
If you want it to show all these states (enabled, disabled, highlighted etc), you will use selector as described here.
You've to keep both files in order to make the drawable backward-compatible. Otherwise, you'll face weird exceptions in previous android version.
Markushi wrote a circle button widget with amazing effects. Click here!
With the official Material Components library you can use the MaterialButton applying a Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon style.
Something like:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon"
app:icon="#drawable/ic_add"
app:iconSize="24dp"
app:iconPadding="0dp"
android:insetLeft="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetRight="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded"
/>
Currently the app:iconPadding="0dp",android:insetLeft,android:insetTop,android:insetRight,android:insetBottom attributes are needed to center the icon on the button avoiding extra padding space.
Use the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute to get rounded corners. In this case you will have a circle.
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
</style>
The final result:
With jetpack compose you can use:
Button(
onClick = { /* Do something! */ },
modifier = Modifier.width(48.dp).height(48.dp),
shape = CircleShape
) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Add, "")
}
AngryTool for custom android button
You can make any kind of custom android button with this tool site...
i make circle and square button with round corner with this toolsite..
Visit it may be i will help you
For a FAB looking button this style on a MaterialButton:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.ExtendedFloatingActionButton"
app:cornerRadius="28dp"
android:layout_width="56dp"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:text="1" />
Result:
If you change the size be careful to use half of the button size as app:cornerRadius.
You can use MaterialButton from AndroidX material library
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:insetLeft="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetRight="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
app:cornerRadius="50dp"
app:icon="#drawable/ic_camera"
app:iconGravity="textStart"
app:iconPadding="0dp"
app:iconSize="35dp" />
and it will be like this
if you want use VectorDrawable and ConstraintLayout
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/ok_button"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:background="#drawable/circle_button">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/icon_of_button"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_thumbs_up"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_of_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/icon_of_button"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="ok"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</FrameLayout>
circle background: circle_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#41ba7a" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#03ae3c" />
<padding
android:bottom="4dp"
android:left="4dp"
android:right="4dp"
android:top="4dp" />
</shape>
Unfortunately using an XML drawable and overriding the background means you have to explicitly set the colour instead of being able to use the app style colours.
Rather than hardcode the button colours for every behaviour I opted to hardcode the corner radius, which feels marginally less hacky and retains all the default button behaviour (changing colour when it's pressed and other visual effects) and uses the app style colours by default:
Set android:layout_height and android:layout_width to the same value
Set app:cornerRadius to half of the height/width
(It actually appears that anything greater than or equal to half of the height/width works, so to avoid having to change the radius every time you update the height/width, you could instead set it to a very high value such as 1000dp, the risk being it could break if this behaviour ever changes.)
Set android:insetBottom and android:insetTop to 0dp to get a perfect circle
For example:
<Button
android:insetBottom="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_width="150dp"
app:cornerRadius="75dp"
/>
here is how you can perform simply, make a drawable resource file in drawable.xml. Say round_button.xml and then paste the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#color/button_start_gradient_color"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/microphone"/>
</layer-list>
Note:- use your own color and drawable resource as i have used #drawable/microphone
Following is the result

If you want to do with ImageButton, use the following. It will create round ImageButton with material ripples.
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_settings_6"
android:background="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:padding="10dp"
/>
Create a new vector asset in the drawable folder.
You can import your PNG image as well, and convert the file to SVG online at https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg. The higher the resolution, the better the conversion will be.
Next, create a new vector asset from that SVG file.
This is a sample vector circle image you can use. Copy the code to an xml file in the drawables folder.
ic_check.xml:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportHeight="256"
android:viewportWidth="256">

android:strokeColor="#00000000" />
</vector>
Use this image in your button:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btn_level1"
android:layout_width="36dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:background="#drawable/ic_check"
/>
Your button will be a circle button.
