Android :: Standard Android Button With Different Color
Oct 5, 2009
I'd like to change the color of a standard Android button slightly in order to better match a client's branding. For example, see the "Find a Table" button for the OpenTable application:
The best way I've found to do this so far is to change the Button's drawable to the following drawable located in res/drawable/red_button.xml:
CODE:.................
But doing that requires that I actually create three different drawables for each button I want to customize (one for the button at rest, one when focused, and one when pressed). That seems more complicated and non-DRY than I need.
All I really want to do is apply some sort of color transform to the button. Is there an easier way to go about changing a button's color than I'm doing?

The above is the code I have written for filling borders of Button with black color.The same code I was using for 3 buttons by setting as background.Now, when I click button1, red color appears and goes when I releases. But I want Red color to be visible, until I press next button.Though I release Button1 after press, Red color should be visible. But Red color should only disappear when I press any other button.

I made my app compatible with both pre and post 3.0. Before 3.0 most phones had menu buttons which led to settings or other menu options. Since 3.0+ the dev guide has depreciated the menu button so phones don't need it. ICS and JB don't use them.
So how do I let users access it? In Gingerbread a user can press the menu button and then select the "Settings" link. Everyone knows what I mean but I feel I need to explain it: here's the dev guide anyway.
So if one of my users is on a 3.0+ device how can I let them get access to the settings page? I don't want to use the Action Bar like the dev guide suggests. That's a huge UI change just for one settings page.
I mean it's just one page and changing my UI to add a settings imageview would change the overall layout of main.xml which at the moment is just how i want it.

I'm curious why anyone would use the Google Search box (and take up that home screen space) when all you have to do is press the magnifying glass for the same feature (and on any home screen, without having to scroll back to the widget). A long-press opens voice search, so I see no benefit in even using the widget at all.

Is there a way I could get the color that is used when a button is pressed? I know that the button uses a default selector xml that consists of the pressed image. But, I am having some custom buttons for which I want it to be close to the default image used for pressed state.

I m wondering if someone can help me with a situation. I have this list view as shown in the picture below.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/34403563@N02/5098102704/
Each button on the top has a list view corresponding to the above field. I m trying to see how it is possible to show the default selection as the user enters this particular screen. I m trying to keep one of the button on the top to have a different color so the user can know which of the tab views they have presently selected.

I am reading in some data from a REST api and need to generate some buttons based on the information the app receives.
Because I need the same buttons in many Activity screens I have extended Button to make a RachelButton and I set it up in the constructor.
CODE:...............
Then an example of the resource I am using to generate a colored button is this:
CODE:.............
As you can see in the code I am setting the text color and I'm sure that this color exists as a resource.
But setting the text color like this has no effect at all, the text color on the button seems to be a darker shade of the button's background color.

I'm working on an android form with a radio group containing a set of radio buttons. From what I can tell there is no way to set the color a radio button highlights when you select it. It seems to always default to some bright green color. Is this something that is editable or no?

I am developing an application that has a button whose color should change green color on focusing on the button and the color of button should change to red on clicking the button. I am using setBackgroundResource() in the onClick and onLongClick listeners. Though it changes the button color, it also changes the button shape by making it look like a rectangle.
How can this be solved?
I have used the below code to do the same:
CODE:..............
How can i achieve the functionality with out changing the shape of the button? how this functionality can be achieved?

Why is this button changing color to orange when clicked: <Button android:background="@android:drawable/btn_plus" ...>
But this one is not? <Button android:background="@drawable/ic_btn_round_plus" ...>
Found another type of button (text and image) that changes color to orange when clicked
without having to create a selector: <Button android:text="List" android:drawableTop="@drawable/list" ...>

I would like to vary the text color of a custom button that I am making depending on which state it is in (enabled, disabled, state pressed).
I know how to use an XML file to describe the different drawables that I need for the different states like so:
CODE:...........
How do I style the textColor when pressed and textColor when disabled states without resorting to a subclass of a Button?

How do you change the color of a selected toggle button. I'm referring to the green line indicator which lights up when the button is in the checked state.

I am creating a button programmatically. It is rounded and has a gradient background, and works fine and looks nice, but I couldn't do two things I wanted:
Set a 1 pixel stroke with a given color. I tried getPaint().setStroke(), but couldn't figure how to set the stroke color. How should I do it?
Align the gradient to the bottom of the button, no matter what height it has. Is this possible?
For reference, this is the code I'm using:

Is there an easy way to change Button text color in a theme? I found a theme I like - the one TheOneDude05 modified from the Nexus theme -- but it has white text on light grey buttons.
Is there a simple fix for that? Or a guide for newbs of some sort floating around...I wouldn't mind fixing that..other than that I really like the colors of it!

1. I want to use my own color for selecting ui views.
By default, android shows the selected view with background as orange. I want to show the view background color as red.
2. In the same way, I want the same behaviour should be applied to whole application.

What's that * asterisk doing there? What is the difference when using or not?
