You can use ImageButton in your xml file and align it to the bottom of the page and set the text and back image of the ImageButton from code section. somthing like this:

the_xmlLayout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<ImageButton 
    android:id="@+id/theImageButton"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

And somthing like this in your java code:

View v = (View) getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout., null);
ImageButton ib = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.theImageButton);
ib.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.X);

You cand define a method to change the background randomly with setBackgroundResource method.
