The first button is a simple button without drastic changes.

The second one it's a frankeinstein, it's not a button but a LinearLayout with nested components mimicking a button.

I ended up using android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default"to make it look as close as possible like a button. But it's really awful, i've been looking at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/button.htmlbut it doesn't really works on this.

It doesn't properly emulate the click animation, and the pressed color get's messed up sometimes.

Also, the color needs to be overwriten on the run, i've been using this and works great with simple button and custom layout.

btnHistorial.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#EA4335"), PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
btnIniciar.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#EA4335"), PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
