Hi,
What I have done is to retrieve the drawable from the button and then
change the color of the drawable with a color filter.
Here is an example of code :
Drawable dr = ((Button)wid).getBackground();
dr.setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
((Button)wid).setBackgroundDrawable(dr);
Hope this helps !
