Question

I want to build a button that represents a person,
On the right i want a large icon that is a picture of him
on the bottom i want small icons that represents sites as facebook or twitter or so

i want the button to look something like this image:imagelink

at the moment i have code that looks roughly like this:

  Button button = new Button(getApplicationContext());
  button.setText(friend.getName());
  button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
          getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image),
          null,
          null,
          getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.facebook));

does anyone know if this is possible and how to do it ?

Answer 1

You need to create your own widget from the Layout (as @dbrettschneider says).
For example:

class YourView extends LinearLayout implements OnClickListener {
// constructor
public YourView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    // layout.you_view - is your xml layout
    LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.you_view, this, true);
    .....
    // init your view elemnts - imageView, TextView, etc.       
    setOnClickListener(this);
}
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // implements your actions
    }
}
