I am sharing my project work tutorial with all of you so that it will help you to style your button. This is the procedures I applied while styling my android app buttons.

  1. First create a button_selector.xml in drawable folder. Insert the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
 <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
     <corners android:radius="5dp" />
     <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="@color/green_temp" />
     <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="@color/green_temp" android:endColor="@color/green_temp"  />            
 </shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
 <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
     <corners android:radius="5dp" />
     <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#971E05" />
     <solid android:color="#58857e"/>       
 </shape>
</item>  
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
     <corners android:radius="5dp" />
     <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="@color/bright_green" />
     <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="@color/green_temp" android:endColor="@color/button_green" />            
 </shape>
</item>
</selector>

2. Add these following colors in colors.xml of values folder.

<!-- Green -->
<color name="green_temp">#23A96E</color>
<color name="green_dark">#159204</color>
<color name="bright_green">#02D8B0</color>
<color name="button_green">#10a54a</color>

3. Finally in your button of xml put background from our selector

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btnAddTitle"
    android:layout_below="@id/edEnterTitleValue"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/btn_AddTitle"
    android:background="@drawable/button_selector"
    android:layout_margin="20dp"
/>

That’s all you need to do to style you android app buttons.
