I have been placing several ImageButtons programmatically in a TableLayout, every ImageButton has it’s own Drawable resource as a Background.
I use an XML description for the layout of the ImageButton itself and afterwards use the LayoutInflater to retrieve such an ImageButton (called genre_cell.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageButton
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/genreCellItemId" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="5dip" android:paddingRight="5dip">
</ImageButton>

And in my class I do :

myButton = (ImageButton) inflater.inflate(R.layout.genre_cell, row, false);

I have actually attached an onClickListener on every ImageButton, but now I’d like to uniquely identify which ImageButton has been clicked…
I thought that maybe I could somehow retrieve the Drawable’s ID used for the background and check that one with the available Drawable’s int values ?
Is this an option and if so how should it be implemented ?
Also are there any other options ?

    By chance I just came across a blog which was mentioning the setTag() and getTag() methods for the ImageButton,
    those I can use and thus is my question answered…
    Link to the blog :

    After some looking around I even saw the setId() method and the getId() method, so it looks like there are several methologies to identify such an ImageButton… good to know 😛
