How to Locate Default Android Button Styles and Color Codes?

How can I find the default Android button styles and their corresponding hexadecimal color codes?

<style name="Widget.Button">
    <item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_default</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

To locate the default Android button styles and color codes, you need to explore the Android SDK directory and understand the structure of Android's resource files. The default styles for buttons are defined in 'styles.xml' and the colors can be located in 'colors.xml'.

<style name="Widget.Button">
    <item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_default</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

Causes

• Inability to navigate the Android SDK folders effectively.

Solutions
