android - btn.setEnabled(false); does not make the button text grayed out in targetSdkVersion 25

Question

After updating Android Studio to 2.3 and gradle version 3.3,

btn.setEnabled(false);

Text color on the disabled button does not gray out. Functionality is working fine but I have an issue with the text color which can be misunderstood by users. btn.setTextColor() is an option but then it can be tedious. Any other alternatives would be helpful..

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <!-- disabled state -->
  <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="#9D9FA2" /> 
  <item android:color="#000"/>
</selector>
