Button theme in styles

        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorOrange</item>
        <item name="colorButtonNormal">@color/colorOrange</item>
        <item name="android:backgroundTint">@color/black</item>
        <item name="strokeColor">@color/colorOrange</item>
        <item name="strokeWidth">@dimen/mtrl_btn_stroke_size</item>
        <item name="colorOnPrimary">@color/colorOrange</item>
        <item name="colorOnPrimarySurface">@color/colorOrange</item>
    </style>

XML code

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButtonToggleGroup
        android:id="@+id/toggleGroup"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Answer 1

The background color of the MaterialButton is defined by the backgroundTint attribute.

The default value is:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:color="?attr/colorPrimary" android:state_enabled="true"/>
  <item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface"/>
</selector>

You can change it in the xml layout or you can define a custom style:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
           style="@style/ButtonStyle"
           .. />

with:

<style name="ButtonStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button">
    <item name="backgroundTint">@color/your_button_background_selector</item>
    ...
</style>
