Android: textColor of disabled button in selector not showing?

Solution 1:

You need to also create a ColorStateList for text colors identifying different states.

Do the following:

1. Create another XML file in res\color named something like text_color.xml.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <!-- disabled state -->
     <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="#9D9FA2" /> 
     <item android:color="#000"/>
   </selector>
   

2. In your style.xml, put a reference to that text_color.xml file as follows:

   <style name="buttonStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">
     <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
     <item name="android:textColor">@color/text_color</item>
     <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
   </style>
   

This should resolve your issue.

Solution 2:

1.Create a color folder in /res/ folder and in color folder create on xml:

text_color_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <!-- disabled state --> 
<item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="#776678" /> 
 <item android:color="#ffffff"/>
</selector>

2.Now Create a xml layout:-

 <Button

        android:id="@+id/button_search"

        android:layout_width="652dp"

        android:layout_height="48dp"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:layout_marginTop="18dp"

        android:background="@android:color/transparent"

        android:text="Hello Bhaskar"

        android:textColor="@color/text_color_selector"/>
