Been looking for this!! Brilliant!

i dont think so. I dont think that i can implement this at all.
This lib EXTENDS the native Android Buttonobject. But in behind it is still a button with all it´s rules to place the text.
Maybe the lib can be extended with much more knowledge about the buttonobject but i dont know how

Shouldn't be a problem.
The standard button have a Gravity property for horizontal/vertical text aligning. The icon button miss this property and ignores the settings from designer.
If you add "Gravity" and additionally a property "IconGravity" with the same behaviour for the icon all text/icon position combinations are doable.

Great lib !
In your example when I click the button it "clicks" ok (it changes color for a few msecs so the user knows it'clicked..)
But in my App does not ,whats the problem ?

There is no Color propety in this lib. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-picture-to-a-button.50825/page-2#post-318721
Try to use statelistdrawable with background property

I'm not sure this would work, did'n test it.
Let me know if it worked

 

[zeuspower]

OK,I'll check it...

how to use corner radius in button ?

 

[Rusty]

Nice library, can you add a visible attribute? i.e. ib1.visible = true / ib1.visible = false
Also, I would like to be able to overlay the graphic in SOME cases but use the offset in most cases. If I set the offset to zero, this doesn't seem to overlay, but move the text right up to the graphic. Can we use a negative offset to make this happen?
Thanks,
Rusty

I got the negative offset to work , please disregard that part of my questions. Still need the visible method.

 

[DonManfred]

Still need the visible method.

1) Is Icon size not scaled for the button height ? Seems, not :-(
2) Try to get "but.Height" gives error

Hello Don,
Very good lib, but there is no option to change font size of the button.
Thanks for your time.

 

[merlin2049er]

Hey, this is what I'm looking for.
Can I center the image on the button?

 

[rleiman]

Shouldn't be a problem.
The standard button have a Gravity property for horizontal/vertical text aligning. The icon button miss this property and ignores the settings from designer.
If you add "Gravity" and additionally a property "IconGravity" with the same behaviour for the icon all text/icon position combinations are doable.

Please do add "IconGravity" so I can get my images to scale with the button size.

Thanks.
