Having An Issue Coloring Custome Xml Button

I'm having an issue coloring a custom button. For some reason, it seems like no matter what coloring change I want to apply (text or background) the button remains the same. I noti

Solution 1:

If you are using material components (which is probably the case if this is a relatively new project) then you style the Button in another way:

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:background="@color/white"tools:context=".FirstFragment"><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button"style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_margin="32dp"android:text="I am a Button!"android:textColor="@color/white"app:backgroundTint="#FF0000"app:cornerRadius="50dp"app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /></androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Things to notice are:

• style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button"
• android:textColor="@color/white"
• app:backgroundTint="#FF0000" (would be @color/redAdobeXD in your case)
• app:cornerRadius="50dp"

There is no need for an extra xml and setting that on the button etc. (only in more custom cases).
