Can't inherit button color on style

I am trying to define button properties on style. My code is 

<style name="button">
    <item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
    <item name="colorButtonNormal">#f37022</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>

And using as

<Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Prepaid Package"
        style="@style/button"/>

But the color of the button's normal state is not changing.

This button style is only for some buttons. Not for all butons.

What to do now?

Save you style.xml in res/values/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="custom_button" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">
        <item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
        <item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
        <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
        <item name="colorButtonNormal">#f37022</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
    </style>

Apply it like so: 

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Prepaid Package"
    style="@style/custom_button"/>

first answer

You need to inherit the parent style.

<style name="Button" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">
    <item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
    <item name="colorButtonNormal">#f37022</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>

That way all your Button's that are not styled will have your custom style. i.e. no need to put in the style value.

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Prepaid Package"/>
