button style rounded corners not working

Question

button style rounded corners not working on android earlier than level 21 Note that I'm applying this style on the whole project

drawable edittext.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <corners
        android:bottomRightRadius="15dip"
        android:bottomLeftRadius="15dip"
        android:topLeftRadius="15dip"
        android:topRightRadius="15dip"/>
</shape>

Styles.xml

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/App_ButtonStyle</item>
    <item name="editTextStyle">@style/App_EditTextStyle</item>

    <item name="android:spinnerStyle">@style/App_SpinnerStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="App_EditTextStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/edittext</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:padding">5dip</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">right</item>


</style>

<style name="App_SpinnerStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Spinner">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/edittext</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:padding">5dip</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">right</item>


</style>
<style name="App_ButtonStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/edittext</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:padding">10dip</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
    <item name="android:width">150dip</item>

</style>

also spinner style not applied,

This screenshot show how it on android API level 21+

and the below picture shows how it be on earlier than level 21

So any idea what is wrong with this style

Note that Widget.AppCompat.Button didn't solve the problem

Instead of creating another styles.

use button background android:background="@drawable/edittext"

this worked for my in every API level.

i want it to be applied on the whole project not just one button, – gazzarzx Feb 21 '18 at 09:33
so when i want to change anything like color as example, it will affect all buttons – gazzarzx Feb 21 '18 at 09:34
write this on every button. So when you have to change the style you just have to edit edittext.xml – 007 Feb 21 '18 at 09:35
use change textColor="@color/name_of_color and store the name in color.xml – 007 Feb 21 '18 at 09:36
so when you use style every API may have some different functionality. So the stability or consistency you want may not be achieved. – 007 Feb 21 '18 at 09:40
