Question

In examples found on the net I saw that the text is set from XML file only. I need to attach the text from another View, and I tried to find any setter that I can use to set text to ImageButton. I didn’t succeed. I even tried using this

<ImageButton
       android:background="#ffffff"
       android:text="setText()"
       />

hoping that I can use setText() in the code, but it did not work as well.

How can I set the text for ImageButton programmatically?

Thanks
PS. This is a custom ImageView which inherits ImageView.

Answer 1

ImageButtons can’t have text (or, at least, android:text isn’t listed in its attributes). It looks like you need to use Button (and look at drawableTop or setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(int,int,int,int)).
