i need it to be red from the start and i also need it to stay red after events.

is there a way of doing this?

Answer 1

Did you try at all to get some info about this? ;)

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Button.html Read that to know how to declare buttons

I use this personally (implying a Button has already been declared as button, as above):

button.getBackground().setColorFilter(0xFFFF0000,PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

This ensures that it looks like a Button after you apply the new color too. I had issues with setBackgroundColor(int color) on that note.

You can also use Color.RED instead of the Hex value that I put.
