Create a new grayed icon and add both inside a selector.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_ok" android:state_enabled="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_ok_disabled" android:state_enabled="false" />

</selector>

Use inside button like: android:drawableStart="@drawable/selector"

For TextColor,

Create another selector inside res/color/mycustomtextcolor.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:color="#666" android:state_enabled="false" /> 
  <item android:color="#000" android:state_enabled="true"/>
</selector>

Inside your widget call using: android:textColor="@color/mycustomtextcolor"

Or

inside your style add another item using: <item name="android:textColor">@color/mycustomtextcolor</item>
