How can I change the text color of a disabled button?

Currently, I have something like this inside my view: 

public void DisableNextBtn(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(emailentry.Text))
    {
        NextButton.IsEnabled = false;
        NextButton.TextColor = Color.FromRgba(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x80);
    }
    else
    {
        NextButton.IsEnabled = true;
        NextButton.TextColor = Color.White;
    }
}

However, even though I want to set the TextColor of the button to the color above, it won't change from the default dark disabled state text color. How can I change the TextColor for my button?

I have a custom button already, so I was thinking maybe there is a way to change the textcolor of disabled state button inside my custom renderer but I'm not entirely sure.

This is for Xamarin.Forms Android app.

This might not be a workable solution for everybody, but in order to get around this I changed the MouseDownBackColor and MouseOverBackColor to match the setting I was using for the BackColor, this way I could leave the button enabled and use it just to display text with a transparent background as none of the text box components allow a transparent background to be used.

if you'd like to change the color so it becomes like the color of it background, wich means you want to hide the text, you can do:

button1.Text = "";
button1.Enabled = true;

You can change it using NextButton.ForeColor = Color.FromRgba(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x80);.

In xamarin forms android, I just did this in my styles.xml for my disabled textcolor. I'm sure it's the same for button textcolor.

<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
