title: How to set Android button background color?
body: <p>I would like to use a custom background color for a couple of buttons. I tried <code>android:background="#cc2"</code> but it replaces the entire button, so it doesn't look like a button anymore.</p>
  
  <p>Evidently one can use a <code>&lt;selector&gt;</code> (drawable) for this. Is this the only way? Where do I get a template for the original, standard Android button?</p>
  
  <p>Note: the accepted answer to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1521640/standard-android-button-with-a-different-color">this question</a> isn't what I want, since it doesn't look like a standard Android button.</p>
