How to Create Borderless Buttons in Android [dupli

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How to create standard Borderless buttons (like in the design guideline mentioned)? 19 answers

The Android Design Guidelines say to use borderless buttons (see picture below), but don't really explain how. Someone asked this same question a few weeks ago here: How to create standard Borderless buttons (like in the design guidline mentioned)? and there was an answer marked as "the" answer, but I am still lost and I don't see a way to add comments to a question that has been "closed"

The answer-er said

"Look into the theme attributes buttonBarStyle, buttonBarButtonStyle, and borderlessButtonStyle"

but I still can't figure out how to actually use those things. I Googled around a bit and couldn't find anything so I figured I'd just ask the question again, and hopefully someone can provide a little more detail on how this works.

Answer 1

<Button android:id="@+id/my_button" style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Button.Borderless" />

Answer 2

If you use ActionbarSherlock...

<Button 
  android:id="@+id/my_button" 
  style="@style/Widget.Sherlock.ActionButton" />
