Try this code

        final Drawable backgroundDrawable = button2.getBackground();
        if (backgroundDrawable instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
            button1.setBackgroundDrawable(backgroundDrawable);
        }else if (backgroundDrawable instanceof ColorDrawable) {
             if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
                          final ColorDrawable colorDrawable = (ColorDrawable)   backgroundDrawable;
                       button1.setBackgroundColor(colorDrawable.getColor());
            }
         }
