How to change the color of a button?

You can change the colour two ways; through XML or through coding. I would recommend XML since it’s easier to follow for beginners.

XML:

<Button
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:textColor="@android:color/black"
/>

You can also use hex values ex.

android:background="@android:color/white"

Coding:

//btn represents your button object

btn.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
btn.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
