Android: combining text & image on a Button or ImageButton
I'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image.
If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text. If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android:drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display).
Any suggestions on how to do this? One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw() -method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?
You can call setBackground() on a Button to set the background of the button.
Any text will appear above the background.
If you are looking for something similar in xml there is: android:background attribute which works the same way.
For users who just want to put Background, Icon-Image and Text in one Button from different files: Set on a Button background, drawableTop/Bottom/Rigth/Left and padding attributes.
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/home_btn_test"
android:drawableTop="@drawable/home_icon_test"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="@+id/ButtonTest"
android:paddingTop="32sp"
android:drawablePadding="-15sp"
android:text="this is text"></Button>
For more sophisticated arrangement you also can use RelativeLayout and make it clickable.

There's a much better solution for this problem.
Just take a normal Button and use the drawableLeft and the gravity attributes.
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/my_btn_icon"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical" />
This way you get a button which displays a icon in the left side of the button and the text at the right site of the icon vertical centered.
