Color in Button

How can I change the background color in a Button?

If I do this:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

                <Button
                <span style="font-weight: bold">android:id="@+id/Schaltflaeche"</span>
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/login"
                android:layout_weight="1" 
                <span style="font-weight: bold">android:background="@drawable/green"></span>
                </Button>
Parsed in 0.000 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

The Emulator Shows as a Button a colored rectangle.

I use the 1.0 sdk.

Thank you.

P.S. Nice board here

Hi,

try this in your onCreate method:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Schaltflaeche);
 
button.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);

But it may look similar. I guess that android can only display the standard button as a nice looking button. Every time you change the color or use a different background, you get the a colored rectangle or the for example picture with the functionality of a button. If you want to have a nice looking button you have to draw your own.

Regards

Hi andmol,

thank you for your information!

Can I change the Button-Color by using a Theme? When the Button is pressed the Button shows a orange background color!

Have everyone information to create a new Theme? How can I change the Orange Color Theme to green? The Button has a orange highlight color when he is focused!
