I have the following imageButton

    <ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/header_buttonleft"
    android:layout_width="40dip"
    android:layout_height="40dip"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
    android:src="@drawable/icon_download"
    android:clickable="true"/>

But when I load my application in the device, it appears too small:

alt text

Anyone knows how can I make the icon bigger. I have tried to increase the resolution (actually the icon is 70×70) but it still doesn’t work. Any idea?

    bigger.

    Make a bigger button.

    As an experiment, remove android:src from your layout, then run your app. That is the smallest an ImageButton can go without a custom background.

    You are welcome to create your own custom ImageButton background with custom nine-patch PNG files for the different background states, where you adjust the nine-patch control frame to allow for a smaller gap between where your icon goes and the edges of the button.
