Button contains text & image from the Internet [android] - android

how could i get an image and a text from the Internet and made a button for my android application dynamically?And draw them in th position i want.
i.e by Java code
thinks


Download the image and the text, then:
button.setText(downloadedText);
button.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
You'll have to create a Drawable from the image, which you can probably do using Drawable#createFromStream.
Drawing the button in the position you want is no different from a normal button. Just declare it in your XML (possible set to Visibility.GONE at first), get a reference to it using View.findViewById and then do the above operations on it.

How to add hint for an imageview

I need to add hint text for next and previous Image View in android app,how can i do it.There is no attribute like hint in image view.
I have 2 images and need to show hint when user tries to click on those images

Starting with Android API 14+, there is an event for hovering. You can do,
view.setOnHoverListener(...)
and listen for MotionEvents such as ACTION_HOVER_ENTER and ACTION_HOVER_EXIT, instead of onLongClick.

Set drawable's background image programmatically

I have a Button (btn). Is set the Button's style using a drawable:
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.mybtn_style);
This Button has some text. In some occasions I want to use an image instead of text.
Using the following:
if (useImagesinButtons==true){
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_myImage);
btn.setText("");
}
replaces the style with the image (myImage).
But I don't want to change the overall style of the Button. I just want to set an image instead of text. I want to do that programmatically.
Could I change the drawable's background image before calling
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.mybtn_style);

if (useImagesinButtons==true){
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_myImage);
}
else{
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.mybtn_style);
}

->First set the button background in the XML file using " android:background" attribute.
-> then when ever you want text on button just set the text on button.

You can't change a style programmatically. However, you can create two different button instances for the two specific case you have. One text-only button and one with an image. Ofcourse you will be using one of the two at a time. Whenever the condition changes, you remove/add buttons.

showing text and image both while displaying list of applications in android

i want to create a home screen application where the applications looks like carousel , and i am able to do it . The problem i am facing is that in my application only the applications icon are getting displayed the text is missing in it , where as my requirement is that i want to both the icon and text to be displayed together.
my application displays same as the above showing image.
i want text to be combined with it as above image.
please help me.
Thanks

So the simplest thing to do would be to create a Compound Control. This compound control would essentially be a LinearLayout with both and ImageView and a TextView in it. Then, where ever you use a CarouselImageView in your code, just use your new compound control instead.

you can use setAlpha method of imageView class to do this.
imgView.setAlpha(90);

Thats the link for adding images to show different state of buttons. You create a xml file for this and set this file as the background for the button.

Android: How to change a button so that it has a graphic image embedded on it

I have a program that I'm writing in Android using Eclipse. It has an array of buttons (4x4).
I would like to have the buttons contain a user defined image (perhaps some filled circles).
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks
Mike

Should be straight forward enough to follow.. if the image is chosen by the uesr, you will just have to change the image path on a button press or something similar
