android set button background programmatically

Question

I would like to know how to set the button color programatically? I have coded the following but fails:

Button11.setBackgroundColor(R.color.red);
         


        

Answer 1

You can set your desired color to the button programmatically like:

Button11.setBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.parseColor("#738b28"));

Also you can give the text color for a button like:

Button11.setTextColor(Android.Graphics.Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
