How to set a gradient background to a Material Button?

Question

I\'m currently using this code but the background is not changing.It is still showing accent-color as background.

Answer 1

To use a custom drawable background with the MaterialButton you can use the android:background attribute:

NOTE: It requires at least the version 1.2.0-alpha06

Currently it is very important to add app:backgroundTint="@null" to avoid that the custom background doesn't get tinted by default with the backgroundTint color.

With lower versions of the Material Components Library you have to use an AppCompatButton.
