FlatColorButton is a library which simplifies the creation and use of flat-designed button widgets with pure color as the background.
Browse the source code of demo application for an example to start with.

Just import the library's code as an Android Library module (in Android Studio), and add it as a dependency to your project.
Using the library is quite simple. All you need to do is to add a widget to the layout XML file:
<com.skynewborn.open.flatcolorbutton.ColorButton
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:text="Color Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dip"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="20sp"
lib:colorDefault="#009688"
lib:colorFocused="#00796b"
lib:colorDisabled="#b6b6b6"
lib:borderWidth="1dip"
lib:borderColor="#8bc34a"
lib:borderColorDisabled="#727272"
lib:radius="3dip"/>
where lib prefix should be defined as xmlns:lib="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto". Then you can use it just like a button in your Activity, Fragment, custom views, etc.
Two types of widget are provided in this library: ColorButton and ExtendedColorButton.
ColorButton is extended from TextView, which is powerful enough in most cases; However, in certain cases, for example, if you need to show an icon to the left of a button's text, with a fixed distance, a TextView won't do when the button's layout_width is set to match_parent.
ExtendedColorButton is provided to satisfy the needs of those "certain cases" mentioned above: it wraps a TextView with a FrameLayout, making it possible to center the whole icon and text, at the cost of adding an extra layer to the view hierarchy. ExtendedColorButton is designed as a drop-in replacement of the ColorButton, so the most commonly used APIs and XML attributes are identical.
See the source code of demo application for a complete overview of the features supported by the library.
