How to add text under image button in Android?

Question

I want to add text under the image button, which is also clickable and will be redirected to the same activity as the image button. basically it looks like a list of applications on any Android phone, for example

Answer 1

If you have an ImageButton declared in XML, just put it in a LinearLayout that also contains a TextView and set the onClickListener to LinearLayout . The structure will look like

 <LinearLayout ... > <!-- This is the LinearLayout for the xml document --> <!-- Some other layout code here if you please --> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linLayout" ... > <ImageButton ... /> <TextView ... /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> 

And then in your java:

 LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linLayout); layout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } }); 

If you add each ImageButton dynamically through java code, then it will still retain the same structure. Let me know if I need to add something.

Answer 2

setAlpha and follow below

 <Button android:id="@+id/comparePack" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:onClick="compareButtonClick" android:text="@string/compare" android:drawableTop="@drawable/compare1edit" android:gravity="left|center_vertical"/> 

Answer 3

if you want to create this king of the list, use gridview and in the getview method inflate customlayout with imageview and textview

Answer 4

Also you can set onClickListener in TextView

 <!-- Some other layout code here if you please --> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linLayout" ... > <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btn1" ... /> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv1" ... /> </LinearLayout> 

java code:

 ImageButton btn1 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btn1); btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { myClick(); } }); TextView tv1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv1); tv1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { myClick(); } });
