Question

Image comments: Icon should go centered in the red bit. The text should go centered in the yellow bit.

I’m trying to create a button in android that looks pretty much like the above. I tried with the imagebutton, the normal button (with drawabletop and drawablebottom), but the text is not proper aligned then.

Do note that I prefer not to use shapes, as the final result will be ninepatch images (that come from photoshop). Although feel free an example there for documentation use.

Also note that it needs to be clickable.

I think i just need to create a custom XML for this below, and then somehow have a button make use of this. I just haven’t figured out how/where i need to set the text and so on then.

Any advice on this is appreciated.

While using Button… you can align your text as per your expectations using android:gravity="center"android:text=”TestHere”`
