ImageButton change src

Question

Change the ImageButton src

Here is the xml for the tag:

    <ImageButton
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:id="@+id/infobutton"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:src="@drawable/edit"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:layout_height="60dp" />

This is what im doing to the button when it get pressed

        button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.save);

The ImageButton before pressed

Image after press:

I want the button to only have the save Picture and it beeing fitCenter and why doesnt the other src get replaced With the New src?

in xml you are setting source(Foreground) but on button press you are setting background. thats why — Akshay Bhat 'AB', Oct 26 '16 at 10:58
instead of `android:src="@drawable/edit"` try using `android:background="@drawable/edit"` in your `xml` — Logic, Oct 26 '16 at 10:59

Because android:src and android:background is the different attributes. You should use

button.setImageResource(R.drawable.save);

your code is trying to change the background of the button. not its image. Those are two different things

((ImageButton) view).setImageResource(R.drawable.icon2);
