How to change background Color to MaterialButton from android.support.design programmatically

I try change color to MaterialButton with this code:

var materialButton = findViewByid(R.id....) as MaterialButton
materialButton.setBackgroundColor( ContextCompat.getColor(this@MyActivity, R.color.myCustomColor));

With a normal Button, it works.
Anyone have any ideas?

You should change your colorAccent to change background for your materialButton.

Do not use the android:background attribute. MaterialButton manages its own background drawable, and setting a new background means MaterialButton can no longer guarantee that the new attributes it introduces will function properly. If the default background is changed, MaterialButton cannot guarantee well-defined behavior.

For filled buttons, this class uses your theme's ?attr/colorAccent for the background tint color and white for the text color. For unfilled buttons, this class uses ?attr/colorAccent for the text color and transparent for the background tint.

Lets try this:


mButton.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.indian_red), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Simply call this attribute in the XML file within Material Button.

android:backgroundTint=""

Try this

Drawable drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(mButton.getBackground());
drawable.mutate();
DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, getResources().getColor(R.color.my_color));
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), drawable.getIntrinsicHeight());

I found the answer which is as below:

I changed the following line

materialButton.setBackgroundColor( ContextCompat.getColor(this@MyActivity, R.color.myCustomColor));

to

materialButton.setBackgroundTintList(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this@MyActivity, R.color.myCustomColor));

I tested it that way and it worked perfectly.

materialButton.setBackgroundColor( ContextCompat.getColor(this@MyActivity, R.color.myCustomColor));

`materialButton.setBackgroundColor( ContextCompat.getColor(this@MyActivity, R.color.myCustomColor))`

Working with material design dependency
`implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha05'`

For C#/Xamarin.Android:

button.BackgroundTintList = ColorStateList.ValueOf(element.Color.ToAndroid());

**XML**

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="@+id/extended_btn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="@string/button" />

Java



int integerValue = 0XFFC0C0C0;
extendedBtn.setBackgroundTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(backgroundTint));

Kotlin

val integerValue = 0x00000000;
button.backgroundTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(altColor);
