How to get a Button's background back to defau

Question

So I'm setting a button's background doing this:

b.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.custom_button1);

How do I programmatically set it back to the default (boring grey) Android button? Is there a R.android.boring_grey resource identifier I can reference without recreating those states myself? Couldn't seem to find it. Maybe my Googling skills are failing me.

Oh and by the way I tried this:

   b.setBackgroundResource(0);

And the button actually disappeared (blended with black background?).

Answer 1

first get the default background of Button b; using

Drawable d = b.getBackground();

then set another background of your choice

b.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.custom_button1);

if you need default background again use this

b.setBackgroundDrawable(d);

Answer 2

Have you tried this?

android.R.drawable.btn_default;

try

button.setBackgroundResourses(R.drawable.yourimage);

Answer 4

this.setBackgroundResource(android.R.drawable.btn_default);

Answer 5

b.tr.setBackgroundDrawable(null);
