basically you will need to create some new XML files and apply them to your Button element. As i can see from the mockup you will need a stroke and the background color with some shading effect applied, you can research more into the shading thing but the background color and the stroke is pretty straight forward.

Here is an example, done_rounded_btn.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item 
        android:state_pressed="true" 
        android:state_enabled="true" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/zzzzzzzzz_btn_orange" />
    <item 
        android:state_focused="true" 
        android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/zzzzzzzzz_btn_orange" />
    <item 
        android:state_focused="false" 
        android:state_enabled="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/zzzzzzzzz_btn_inactiv" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/zzzzzzzzz_btn_black"/>
</selector>

for the selection part and then you create the custom drawables corresponding to the mockup.

An example, zzzzzzzzzz_btn_orange:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" >

    <solid
        android:color="@color/done_color">
    </solid>

    <corners
        android:bottomLeftRadius="3dp"
        android:bottomRightRadius="3dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="3dp"
        android:topRightRadius="3dp" />

</shape>

And then add it to your button as background, main.xml:

<Button
            android:id="@+id/registers_btn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/done_rounded_btn"
            android:text="@string/done_txt"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textSize="15sp" />

Hope this helps!
