I got this error in the past and from what I lean is that From Android Studio 4.1 many of the components started using the Material Components And sets up the default theme to be based on Theme.material components.DayNight.DarkActionBar.

And because of this, any Button elements in a layout get turned into MaterialButton, and MaterialButton that ignores android:background. In my case, I solved this with -

app:backgroundTint="@null"    //just need this
android:background="@drawable/background_button"

and if this does not work for you, you can check this answer here, which I used in the past, hope it's helps.
