Question

I’m having this question about setting pictures for Buttons in XML :

I made some .png pictures I want to set as pictures instead of the buttons that I get in default when i create my android apps.. Now I loaded in the files into the drawable folder.. And how do I write in XML to get the right thing?

Is setting the button visible to false and adding a picture as background for it an option?
Because that’s all the ways I thought about. Or is there a better way to do this kind of thing?

Answer 1

what I understood is that you want to set the picture in background. Do it like this in your Button tag:

android:background="@drawable/yourpicturename"
