Android button background color

Question

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 don t mind hardcoding it you can do this    android background   eeeeee  and drop any hex color   you wish   Looks like this       lt 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   gt

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    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt  -- Disabled state-- gt       lt item android state enabled  false          android color   android color white  gt       lt  item gt       lt  -- Default state-- gt       lt item         android color   cfc  gt       lt  item gt   lt  selector gt

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
