Weird Button src Problem

ramgraph1 · by **ramgraph1** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 8:23 am

Using the following code in a relative layout I get only one of the buttons showing the drawable - the others all end up with the standard button graphic at 50 by 50 dip! If I change "src" to "background", three of the buttons end up displaying the desired graphic with two still with the default button. Any ideas what's going on here? Thanks.

Hello ramgraph,

hm, your behaviour is really weird. (with me it shows no image at all)

But normally you would use ImageButtons for such things :!:

because the normal Button is not 100% capable (or not at all) of displaying images...
With the ImageButtons it works fine.

Regards,

Hmm. Thanks for your reply. I changed from ImageButton to Button because I had a padding on the buttons and with ImageButton it was giving me the button's graphic as a frame around my graphic, which I didn't want. With padding off ImageButton does work fine, but now I need to use a different way to lay the pictures out with space between them...

The solution I have chosen for solving my layout problem is placing a TextView between the buttons with the text set to blank (text=""). This produces the layout I desire but is it a poor way of handling the issue? If someone is thinking, "Yeah, dummy - you should be doing this...!" Please think out loud here so that I may be enlightened!
