Any clue why the button appears white when it is orange when i design it?

[Russell Stewart]

What does your xml look like? It's possible that you set tools properties instead of app or `android`; those will only show up in the editor.

Should I delete

xmlns:tools="<http://schemas.android.com/tools>"

?

[Russell Stewart]

This is the button in question, right?

<Button
        android:id="@+id/addJob_button"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
        android:background="@drawable/round_button"
        android:backgroundTint="#FC7E2F"
        android:fontFamily="@font/montserrat_bold"
        android:text="upload job"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        tools:visibility="visible" />

[Russell Stewart]

Oh! Try setting it to an AppCompatButton instead of just a Button.

[Russell Stewart]

Specifically:

<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
 ...
/>

[Joshua]

Yay! Thank you so much! 😄

[Joshua]

That solved the problem

[Russell Stewart]

That worked?

[Russell Stewart]

Awesome!

[Russell Stewart]

Yeah, this bit me once before, and it took forever to figure it out.
