    copied!<p>I have a custom drawable in my android project that should be the background of a button. But each button should also support an icon AND a text.</p> <p>What I tried so far is the following:</p> <p>I have a drawable called "btn_background.xml"</p> <pre><code>&lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt; &lt;item&gt; &lt;layer-list &gt; &lt;item&gt; &lt;shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"&gt; &lt;gradient android:startColor="#ff0000" android:endColor="#ee1111" android:type="linear" android:angle="90"/&gt; &lt;stroke android:color="#ff0000" android:width="1dip"/&gt; &lt;size android:width="80dip" android:height="40dip" /&gt; &lt;/shape&gt; &lt;/item&gt; &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_search"/&gt; &lt;/layer-list&gt; &lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>And in my layout file i use that like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button" android:background="@drawable/btn_background" android:textColor="#ffffff"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is getting me somewhere close... but there are two problems: * The image is stretched across the whole button * I can't just change the image in the layout file... so i would have to make a seperate btn_whatever.xml file for each icon?!?</p> <p>The other solution that I tried was to use an ImageButton instead of an Button and set the background to my btn_background.xml .... this would make me able to select the image in the layout file... but then i can't give it a text....</p> <p>I would be happy to hear about your solutions for my problem :)</p> <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
