Answer 1

Button is a TextView and you can call button.setTextColor(someColorStateList) on a TextView.

Here is how to do it programmatically:

   ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(
            new int[][]{
                    new int[]{R.attr.state_pressed},
                    new int[]{R.attr.state_selected},
                    new int[]{-R.attr.state_selected},
            },
            new int[]{
                    Color.GREEN,
                    Color.BLUE,
                    Color.RED});
    TextView textView = ... some textView or button
    textView.setTextColor(colorStateList);

You can of course do the same with xml configuration (define your colorStateList in xml and associate it with the button text color property android:textColor="@drawable/mycolorstatelist"
