Question

I’ve been working on my android calculator and i can’t seem to insert an image instead of text on a button. For example sqrt I don’t want to have sqrt written on my button i want the image of the symbol on it, the same goes for x^y and alot of others. I have my custom background of the button working just fine. Thank you for your help in advance 🙂

EDIT:
Thats not what i wanted i did manage to get my custom button and thats fine. On my button since its a calculator button i have android:text on it saying sqrt. I want to remove that and insert another png on my button showing the symbol of the square root instead of that text. Thank you for quick responses.

Answer 1

<Button 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:drawableTop="@drawable/imageName"/>

You can have both text and image (or no text) when using the attribute drawableTop, drawableBottom, drawableLeft and drawableRight.

And for positioning the image how you want, consider using: paddingTop, paddingBottom, paddingLeft and paddingRight.
