Widget.AppCompat.Button colorButtonNormal shows gray

Question

I have values:styles.xml with:

<style name="AppTheme.Button" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button">     <item name="colorButtonNormal">@color/my_color</item>     <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item> </style> 

and values-v21:styles.xml with:

<style name="AppTheme.Button" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button">       <item name="android:colorButtonNormal">@color/my_color</item>       <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item> </style> 

And app style with

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">       <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Button</item> </style> 

But the colors appears grey instead of @color/my_color

Answer 1

To customize one button only set android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Button" to your button.

<Button     android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Button"     /> 

Define your style as you did in your question

<style name="AppTheme.Button" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button">     <item name="colorButtonNormal">@color/my_color</item> </style>
