setBackgroundTintList does not apply directly

I am applying the method setBackgroundTintList() on my AppCompatButton class as the following:

applyTintColor(this.appCompatButton, R.drawable.button_orange_color_state);

The method applyTintColor:

public void applyTintColor(@NonNull View view, @DrawableRes int color) {

    ColorStateList colorStateList = ContextCompat.getColorStateList(view.getContext(), color);
    ViewCompat.setBackgroundTintList(view, colorStateList);
}

My button_orange_color_state.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- Disable background -->
    <item android:color="@color/brand_secondary"
          android:state_enabled="false"/>
    <!-- Default background -->
    <item android:color="@color/orange"/>
</selector>

Problem: After applying the method applyTintColor, the button take the shape with the default white transparent color instead of my orange color. But I noticed, when I press the button, the button correctly take the color of the disable state, then after enabling the button again, the color goes to orange. The only, but dirty way I found so far, is then to add the following piece of code at the end of my applyTintColor:

    view.setEnabled(!view.isEnabled());
    view.setEnabled(!view.isEnabled());

In that way, the button directly take into account the good orange color.

So I wondering if someone has a better idea to make things better here ?

For future reference, if the view has already been laid out, after view.setBackgroundTintList(tint), you can call view.refreshDrawableState().
