ok very simple first go to  1  res-valuse and open colors xml 2 copy 1 of the defined text their for example  FF4081 and change name for instance i changed to white and change its value for instance i changed to  FFFFFF for white value like this   lt color name  White  gt  FFFFFF lt  color gt    then inside your button add this line   b3 setTextColor ContextCompat getColor getApplicationContext    R color White      ok b3 is the name of my button so changed of the name of ur button all others will be same if u use white color if you change different color then change white to the name of your color but first you have define that color in colors xml like i explained in pont 2

Use getColorStateList like this  setTextColor resources getColorStateList R color button states color     instead of getColor  setTextColor resources getColor R color button states color

Create a stateful color for your button  just like you did for background  for example    lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt        lt  -- Focused and not pressed -- gt       lt item android state focused  true             android state pressed  false             android color   ffffff    gt        lt  -- Focused and pressed -- gt       lt item android state focused  true             android state pressed  true             android color   000000    gt        lt  -- Unfocused and pressed -- gt       lt item android state focused  false             android state pressed  true             android color   000000    gt        lt  -- Default color -- gt       lt item android color   ffffff    gt    lt  selector gt    Place the xml in a file at res drawable folder i e  res drawable button text color xml  Then just set the drawable as text color   android textColor   drawable button text color
