Question

I have set an Android ImageButton’s Bitmap to a jpeg from the net via a HTTPUrlConnection and want to change it when the user clicks it. I set up a View.onClickListener which gets triggered correctly but the code it fires doesnt seem to chaneg the image on the button.

I fire ImageButton1.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.image1); however im thinking maybe the background is behind the Bitmap already set (as the name suggests). What should i be doing to set R.darwable.image1?

Current code;

View.OnClickListener handlerImgBtnCatCelebrities1 = new View.OnClickListener() 
{
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) 
      {
        ImageButton1.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.image1);  
      }
};

What about, setImageResource()?

Don’t get confused by the fact that this method refers to the ImageView class, because an ImageButton is actually an ImageView or in other words: the ImageButton class extends the ImageView class.
