How to change button text color programmatically on press?

I create button like this:

Button button = new Button(this); 
button.setText("2012");
button.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
button.setOnClickListener(mCorkyListener);
layout.addView(dateButton);

On click listiner i have this method. Here i want to change button text color. Bu View don't have this method

    private OnClickListener mCorkyListener = new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
          // do something when the button is clicked
            //v.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
//so how to change pressed button text color ?
//v.setTextColor(colors);
        }
    };

There wouldn't be just one button. There would be many of those and i need to chnage text color when button pressed.

I know you asked about changing text color, and everyone else has pretty well covered that, but you could also change the button color itself (which I find much more visible than a text color change :p)...

import android.graphics.PorterDuff;

To set it to green (assuming you start with a standard gray button):

aButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Button aButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.abutton);
        aButton.getBackground().setColorFilter(0xFF00FF00, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
    }
}

If you are interested to use the View of onClick(View v) then just cast it to Button

     public void onClick(View v) {
        if(v instanceof Button){
              ((Button)v).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
           }
     }

 private OnClickListener mCorkyListener = new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {          
     Button button = (Button)v;
     button.setTextColor(Color.RED);
        }
    };

the best way to do this is not programmatically (using selector), but if you want to do it programmatically you can cast it to Button and then change the color.

public void onClick(View v) {
    Button b = (Button) findViewById(v.getId());
    b.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)l
}
