How to add an image to custom button

Question

I have very simple questions, How to add an image in custom button?

   <com.example.KeyButton 
                android:id="@+id/custombutton" 
                android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" 
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"     />

Same way you add image on `ImageView` `android:background="@drawable/image". — GrIsHu, Oct 25 '13 at 12:22

You have to add android:backgroud to add image.

<com.example.KeyButton 
android:id="@+id/custombutton" 
 android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" 
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"  
android:background"@drawable/image"   /> //here will be your image.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/yourImageButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/your_image" />

</LinearLayout>

And put "your_image" in the drawable folder.

you can use programmatically the methods :

setBackground(Color c); and
setBackground(Drawable d);
setBackgroundResource(int resId);

otherwise, you can use the xml way like stated above
