I have an ImageButton and I'd like to remove the ugly (IMHO) background that surrounds the Image. I could just add an ImageView, but they're very hard to get set perfectly in a Layout like the grey one pictured. [gravity "Center" doesn't make it go to the middle, just centers it Vertically.)
So any way to remove that?
Just use android:background="#0000"
(#0000 same with #00000000)
or
ImageButton imageButton = new ImageButton(this);
imageButton.setBackgroundDrawable(null);
The default background is not transparent.
So, just add the transparent color "#00000000" as you background, then you could solve it.
p.s. #00000000 is the transparent color
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/imageButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:background="#00000000"
/>
You can keep the square box and just change its color like this:
android:backgroundTint="#color/colorPrimary"
works beautifully
I'm having the same problem but now it has been solved. If you are using "android:background="#null" it will resulted of no background at all and no button pressed animation will be appeared to the user.
Just adding this line of code to make an image button become flashing upon clicked. This is the proper way to alert the user an image button has been clicked.
"android:background="?android:selectableItemBackground"
just useandroid:background="#null" in your xml
if you set the
android:background
instead of
android:src
it should overwrite the gray background
Yeah. If you drag ImageButton that will usually ask for ImageSource. But the ImageSource(android:src) doesn't remove the gray background. It is an image that should be on top of background:
Instead of that try android:background in layout XML.
please use the Draw 9-patch format for the image b'use it is provided by SDK
1. From a terminal, launch the draw9patch application from your SDK /tools directory.
2. Drag your PNG image into the Draw 9-patch window (or File > Open 9-patch... to locate the file). Your workspace will now open.
The left pane is your drawing area, in which you can edit the lines for the stretchable patches and content area. The right pane is the preview area, where you can preview your graphic when stretched.
3. Click within the 1-pixel perimeter to draw the lines that define the stretchable patches and (optional) content area. Right-click (or hold Shift and click, on Mac) to erase previously drawn lines.
4. When done, select File > Save 9-patch...
Your image will be saved with the .9.png file name.
Use like this
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
All proposed solutions remove the ripple animation (on tap)
Settings background tint mode to 'add' will remove the background and keep ripple animation:
android:backgroundTintMode="add"
If using Xamarin Forms it can be done like this in the xaml view. Set background to transparent.
<ImageButton BackgroundColor="Transparent"

I want to add an image file at my button.
So i added it by changing
<Button
...
android:background="#drawable/button"
...
/>
By the way the default color of android studio covered my whole button icon.
I changed backgroundTint and iconTint. But it was not the right solution.
I changed them into not only "#A9A9A9" but also "#null", but it never changed to original icon image.
Any advice?
android:backgroundTint="#drawable/button"
I have an icon I would like to scale down to 48dp and use as a button (no background). However, adding the android:background attribute (to make the background transparent) seems to break the sizing I have applied to the button and it displays at its full size:
Desired size but with ugly background:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/composition_send"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#drawable/ic_send_black_48dp"/>
Full (wrong) size, but with no background (desired):
<ImageButton
...
android:background="?android:selectableItemBackground"/>
Why does adding that one line ruin the sizing?
try to add
android:src="#drawable/ic_send_black_48dp
android:backgroundTint="#0000"
to ImageButton, it will make the background transparent and then you can set the image on it.
When you don't set the background property for the Imagebutton, the Imagebutton will use the default Imagebutton background of Android. And this background contains the padding so your image is smaller.
So when you set the background for Imagebutton by a color or resource that doesn't contain padding, your image will look larger
You can find the default background of the Imagebutton and another View in
..\Android\sdk\platforms\android-23\data\res\drawable\
(Some resource in this is not public)
For example
If you compile your project with API 23, the default background of ImageButton is btn_default_material
<ImageButton
...
android:background="#android:drawable/btn_default_material"
android:src="#drawable/ic_send_black_48dp"/>
<ImageButton
...
android:src="#drawable/ic_send_black_48dp"/>
So you set the android:background="#android:drawable/btn_default_material" or don't use background property, 2 ImageButton will look same (note: btn_default_material is not public for use)
Hope this help
If you don't want that ugly background in imagebutton,then you can use an imageview as button and set onClickListener on it. It will behave like a button.

I'm trying to use Fragmentto put ImageButton in my app, but i don't want to see translucent grey background like this:
i want to see only round button. How to do it?
You can also use this
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
Put below property in ImageButton.
android:background="#null"
I am developing an Android app. There's this issue with the EditTexts, because in some devices the "background" is white (which is the way I want it), but on others is transparent, and makes the app less professional. Here's an image with the "white background":
On other devices the edit texts that say "Yo" and "Casa" are transparent, so the words mix with the map and its pretty awful. I have tried changing the background color in the android layout xml. The closest one was I believe #drawable/white, but slightly changes the position and size of the edit text, making them look like they're one and its even worst.
Here is an example:
Is there a nice way to approach this problem? I read somewhere that an option was to add a white background image to the edit texts, but seemed like a lot of trouble.
UPDATE
I tried adding a background image, but its the same as changing the background color to any color using the android:background, the edit texts get like smaller or something. I added a blue "delimiter" to the image and this is the result:
But I want them like in the first picture, not so close one to another.
This would be the code of the edittext layout XML, the other one looks very similar. Only by adding the android:background tag changes from picture 1, to picture 3
SOLUTION
To solve this what I did was set a background image and set its height in dp as follows:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/markerTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/buttonModifymarker"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:text="TÃtulo"
android:background="#drawable/editwhite"
>
Why don't you try setting the background of EditText programmatically?
yourEditText.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
or...
yourEditText.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
simply you can add android:background="#drawable/white" attribute to your element in layout xml. you can use a lot of color resource between the double quotes (like from android color resources).
put the following image which has a solid white background in the drawable folder (it may dont appear because it's white and this page's background is white also) right click under this paragraph and select "Save Image as".
and refer to it in your layout and you will get a result like the following image
if the issue continue after trying this, please show me your layout code or email me at : mohamed_hamed4158#yahoo.com , thanks for voting my answer :)
I want to create metro UI, so I did like in the picture But the problem is the position of the icons, they are in the top of the button, and I don't think it's aesthetic interface. I inserted the icons in the drawable Top in the button. Well how can make the a little bit in the middle.
You have to set the android:paddingTop and android:paddingBottom eqaully. Just don't copy and paste 10dp as the value of the padding. Value depends on the size of your button. Refer to below:
<Button
android:id="#+id/find_teacher"
style="#style/page_button"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/ic_search_light"
android:text="#string/find_teacher"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"/>
This is the output:
I can remember 2 options:
top padding
gravity
