Android Custom Transparent Button Style

A fancy button/layout style is one of the most common things to use in a mobile application. This is how I use to do it..

<Button android:id="@+id/createNewBtn" 
    android:background="@drawable/custom_button"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:text="Create New" 
    android:textColor="#FFF8C6"
    android:textSize="15dip"/>
