How to set the background color of a button using a layout as the background

Issue

layout_bg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <!--<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#B1BCBE" />-->
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
    <padding android:left="0dp" android:top="0dp" android:right="0dp" android:bottom="0dp" />
</shape>

main_activity.xml

<ImageButton
            android:background="@drawable/layout_bg"
            android:src="@drawable/myicon"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:tint="@android:color/black"
            android:minWidth="80.0dp"
            android:minHeight="80.0dp"
            android:padding="10px"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:id="@+id/btnFoo"
            android:layout_marginLeft="91.0dp" 
           />

I am setting the background of my ImageButton to a layout so I can have dynamic rounded corners as you can see in this image:

However, I need to change the background color of just that button to another solid color such as red.

If I set the background color with btnFoo.SetBackgroundColor(Color.Red), then the rounded corners are gone.

I assume because it overwrote the background attribute to be a solid color value rather than the layout_bg.xml file.

How can I set the background color of this specific ImageButton and not all the ImageButtons in my main_activity that use layout_bg as the background?

Solution

You need to make another drawable with the color Red then use it :

btnFoo.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.red_drawable);
