Android Button Customization - android

May i ask how to put icon on my button like the image below?
And also where can i have resources or sample resources of buttons like this?

You'll need to set the drawable to the left of your Button. Either via xml or programmatically.

Either create a button and set a compound drawable or create an ImageButton.

<TextView android:id="#+id/login_with_facebook"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:height="48dp"
android:text="FACEBOOK"
android:gravity="center"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/facebook_icon_48_x_48"
android:clickable="true"/>

<Button android:drawableLeft="#drawable/image"
android:text="facebook"/>
If u want space between image and text, then give drawablePadding Like:
<Button android:drawableLeft="#drawable/image"
android:text="facebook"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"/>

using RelativeLayout it can be done easily. here I got snippet for you,
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
<Button
android:id="#+id/fb_logo_button"
android:text=""
android:background="fb_logo"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
<Button
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/fb_logo_button"
android:id="#+id/fb_text_button"
android:text="Facebook"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_bright"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>
this will ensure that whatever your images are for respective DPIs, it will align this layout to center horizontally. Within this layout logo will be always to left of text as in picture.
This is applicable when your parent is also a RelativeLayout. If you got LinearLayout as parent then in above RelativeLayout tag change android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" to android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
I can't test it in eclipse as I'm out of home. Try this and let me know. Thanks.

Button with left icon and text perfectly aligned

Good evening,
I am developing an Android app and I am currently doing the Login interface in XML.
I am trying to create buttons with icon and text, like in the picture below :
http://i.imgur.com/J5Cj1w4.png
And here is my actual result :
http://i.imgur.com/VPALdDD.png
With this code :
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/sign_up_facebook"
android:text="#string/signup_with_facebook"
android:textColor="#color/primaryTextLight"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_facebook_box_white_24dp"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_login"/>
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/sign_up_google"
android:text="#string/signup_with_google"
android:textColor="#color/primaryTextLight"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_google_plus_box_white_24dp"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_login"/>
I am stuck at this step.
How can I get the final needed result with XML code ?
Thank you!
You can give padding to drawable like this : android:drawablePadding="50dip"
Also this question answered in this post.
Use android:drawablePadding attribute
You only need to specify android:paddingLeft attribute.
Try specifying a value of 36dp for example
The better option is to actually make the button a Relative/Linear layout with the layout set inside, the drawablePadding will not work so well with different lengths of text and buttons.
Essentially, RelativeLayout which is your button with a nested ImageView and TextView and you'll have good control of the layout, with consistent paddings around images and text within the button.
I haven't tested the following, this is essentially what you need
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/facebookButton"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/your_drawable"
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"/>
<TextView
android:text="Sign up with Facebook"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
android:gravity="center_vertical"
//use in both textView
<Button
android:paddingLeft="50dp"
android:textAlignment="textStart"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/"
/>

How to place drawable to the right of screen where as text is left?

How to place drawable to the right of screen where as text is left in a radio button style as given in the image. How to achieve this task?
How will I achieve the task given in the image? Issues are dynamic. They can change
I'd use this code to achieve what you want. It's one row, so you could easily add it into a RecyclerView, or just hard code it if the issues are known beforehand.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="20dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Issue 1"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>

I want to put image over button

I want to put png image over button i tried android:background but the png takes all the button what i want exactly is to use the logo png over button like this
the info logo is my png and "about" comes from the button text
u can use this:
android:drawableTop="#drawable/SomeIcon"
so then you get this:
<Button
android:id="#+id/damage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="about"
android:drawableTop="#android:drawable/ic_menu_info_details"/>
it works for me :)
You can use a FrameLayout. In a FrameLayout, the z-index is defined by the order in which the items are added, for example
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/button_text" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/my_drawable"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"/>
</FrameLayout>
In this instance, the ImageView would be drawn on top of the Button, along the bottom center of the Button.
You can check this thread
Basically, you can use:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ImageButton01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/album_icon"
android:background="#drawable/round_button" />
As the thread says.
Take a RelativeLayout, place ImageView inside it. Now set onClickListener on RelativeLayout.
By this way you can create more complex buttons.
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/your_btn_id"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
you can use
android:drawableTop
to put drawable at top of Button and use appropriate padding to make it position well.
<Buttton
android:layout_width="99dp"
android:layout_height="99dp"
android:background = "#drawable/bg" />
bg is your custom image.

Position of objects in relativelayout

I'm a beginner in Android. I use Eclipse to program my app. When I create an .xml class and I want to set the specific position of a button, I use this code for example:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/fm"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:gravity="end" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollX="100dp"
android:scrollY="30dp"
android:text="#string/edad" />
</RelativeLayout>
... but nothing happens. It sets the button in a corner. How can I get it to appear elsewhere?
you need to use
android:layout_marginRight
android:layout_marginLeft
android:layout_marginTop
android:layout_marginBottom
You need to use positioning parameters such as android:layout_below. See the Relative Layout Guide for details.
You should click the button and go property. That's where the diffrent positioning settings are located.
For example below :#+id/VIEW then set marin top : 10dip. This will set you button 10 dip below VIEW.
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="100dp"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:text="#string/edad" />

How to change position of button in android?

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center" android:background="#drawable/robo">
<TextView android:id="#+id/TextView02"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Max Time(Sec)">
</TextView>
<EditText android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="100"
android:id="#+id/maximum"
android:inputType="number">
</EditText>
<Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Start"
android:id="#+id/startbtn"
android:focusable="true">
</Button>
<ImageButton android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:id="#+id/imageButton1">
</ImageButton>
</LinearLayout>
In LinearLayout you can't change positions a whole lot - because the layout is Linear (sequential). But you can use layout_margin to somewhat move the widgets.
I don't know what you want to do, but you should look into FrameLayout (which will let you put the image anywhere!). My personal favorite is RelativeLayout.
Position depends on position of it's parent container/component (Layout) and on it's layout_* properties.
And u did'n tell what u want. If u want change it position - switch it with another view in Layout.
put more buttons in layout and hide or show them according to your needs
views in android are in relationship, not only in RelativeLayout but in Others, so you should choose the best way to describe your app layout, using more than one is commonly used.
to change position of label, you 'd better using AbsoluteLayout then using android:layout_x="", android:layout_y=""
what is your exact requirement???
you can put two buttons and make one visible and other one invisible or vice verse.or you can put layout_margin for all direction.And try to put all your component in different layout.
