Add ripple effect to my button with button background color?

I created a button and I want to add ripple effect to that button!

I created a button bg XML file: (bg_btn.xml)

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#FFFFFF" android:endColor="#00FF00" android:angle="270" />
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
<stroke android:width="5px" android:color="#000000" />
</shape>

And this is my ripple effect file: (ripple_bg.xml)

<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:color="#f816a463"
    tools:targetApi="lollipop">
    <item android:id="@android:id/mask">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#f816a463" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</ripple>

And This is my Button which I want to add ripple effect:

<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="173dp"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:background="@drawable/ripple_bg"
android:clickable="true" />

But after adding ripple effect button background is transparent, and button display only when clicked, like this:

Before Click

On Click

But I need both button background color and ripple effect, I found some of this code in different blogs of Stack Overflow, but still it is not working!

Here is another drawable xml for those who want to add all together gradient background, corner radius and ripple effect:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:color="@color/colorPrimaryDark">
    <item android:id="@android:id/mask">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/colorPrimaryDark" />
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/button_radius_large" />
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item android:id="@android:id/background">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <gradient
                android:angle="90"
                android:endColor="@color/colorPrimaryLight"
                android:startColor="@color/colorPrimary"
                android:type="linear" />
            <corners android:radius="@dimen/button_radius_large" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</ripple>

Add this to the background of your button.

<Button
    ...
    android:background="@drawable/button_background" />

PS: this answer works for android api 21 and above.
