  • 0

I have been working on interfaces lately and I have many problems with imagebutton sizes. I’m very bad at designing stuff and I’m having major problems with the Android Icons. Thus, I have some questions regarding those.

First of all this is my current layout:

enter image description here

As you can see, I have two icons that have different sizes and that’s not good. I can’t seem to force them to take the same size.

My questions are:

1 – How do I force them to take the same size?

2 – What are the recommended size differences for hdpi, ldpi,mdpi and xhdpi?

3 – Why, if I set the imageButton background color to the same color as the layout background, the Icon is moved as if there was no button in the background?

Example: enter image description here

Thanks in advance!!

    For these ImageButtons set the images using (instead of src):

    android:background="@drawable/image_name"

    Next thing is set:

    android:layout_height="10dp" //or any size required
android:layout_width="10dp" //or any size required ... let these 2 sizes be same for both the ImageButtons

    “dp” or “dip” is device independent pixels. The android system will take care of the resizing for different screen resolutions

    Also, a better thing to do would be to set-up hover images for your button separately.
