I want to have 2 different colored buttons for my app. I am currently using this in styles.xml but it applies this theme for the whole app:

<item name="android:colorButtonNormal">@color/primaryColor</item>

I tried using this in the button but it makes no difference,

android:backgroundTint="@color/accentColor"

Please help! I would appreciate clear answers as I cannot find the answer anywhere. Thanks!!

Use `android:background="@color/mycolor"` in the xml of each separate button. – Matter Cat Apr 28 '15 at 02:37
@MatterCat Is it different to backgroudnTint? – Gursimran Bedi Apr 28 '15 at 02:39

backgroundTint is only available in API level 21+ and from what I can tell, applies more of a filter to the current color than an actual background. – Matter Cat Apr 28 '15 at 02:43
@MatterCat I'll try it once I get home. And I'm only using my app for Lollipop :D – Gursimran Bedi Apr 28 '15 at 02:47
@MatterCat In the lollipop emulator, I am not getting any ripple animation for the button. How do I incorporate it? Thanks – Gursimran Bedi Apr 28 '15 at 07:00
