Issue
In my Android Studio application, I have a button for which I set a drawable as the background. The drawable rounds the corners and changes the color of the button. However, when I look at the resulting design of the activity, the color I want doesn't show up. Instead, the button assumes colorPrimary (orange, #ED3616). The same occurs when I run the application. Note: the other attributes of the drawable file translate perfectly to the button (i.e. the rounded corners). The problem is only with the color.
I have tried using a MaterialButton, and setting the color with android:backgroundTint. Then, the color does show up as I want to, but the design looks odd (there is a different colored rectangle inside of the button(Picture of MaterialButton if you'd like to see it)
How can I make the regular button have the color I desire?
Button:
<Button
android:background="@drawable/round2"
android:id="@+id/signIn"
android:layout_width="256dp"
android:layout_height="66dp"
android:text="@string/logIn"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="25sp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.496"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.878" />
Drawable: round2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#B30C44"
android:paddingLeft="6dp"
android:paddingTop="6dp" />
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topRightRadius="20dp"/>
<padding
android:bottom="6dp"
android:left="6dp"
android:right="6dp"
android:top="6dp" />
</shape>
What shows up: What the Button looks like
Solution
It happens because the default style of the MaterialButton
(the Button
is replaced with a MaterialButton
automatically if your are using a MaterialComponents
theme) tints the background with the colorPrimary
.
You have to use:
<Button
android:background="@drawable/round2"
app:backgroundTint="@null"
... />
