Question

In my application I’m using ToggleButton, but application colors is black and dark-gray, so I want to make the ToggleButton black.

Is there a way to change the background for ToggleButton without using PNG files?

Maybe a simple selector is your choice. You just specify button states, shapes and colors, so as corners, gradients and whatevah:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_checked="true">
   <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:shape="rectangle">
    <corners android:radius="7dip"/>
    <gradient android:startColor="#Color1" 
          android:endColor="#Color2"
          android:angle="90" />
   </shape>
 </item>
 <item android:state_selected="true">
....
</item>
</selector>

And then:

<ToggleButton android:id="@+id/main_togglebutton1"
android:background="@drawable/my_toggle_button_selector"
...
/>
