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.
This is my way to do custom Button with 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"/>
