Just use app:backgroundTint instead of android:backgroundTint, the tint will take effect below Lollipop. The reason is AppCompatActivity AppCompatDelegateImplV7 use AppCompatViewInflater to auto change Button or TextView to AppCompatButton or AppCompatTextView, then app:backgroundTint take effect.

AppCompatButton backgroundTint API < 21

just change **android:backgroundTint** to **app:backgroundTint** in your layout xml – JTeam Sep 18 '16 at 18:08
It does not work . It say unexpected namespace prefix "app" found for tag Button – byte_bx Sep 19 '16 at 10:08
**xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"** Add the app name space at top of XML... – JTeam Sep 20 '16 at 03:09
