How to programmatically change the background color of a button

I am using Android Studio and would like to use the colors.xml file to change the background color of a button btn. Both of these work for me:

btn.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorBlue, null));

and

btn.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorBlue));

Which one is better? I guess better means faster and consuming less memory/cpu usage.

You can use the setBackgroundResource method which accepts the resource id as a parameter.
