Customize button in Android

hi!!
You can change the appearance of button in android like make the corners of button rounded etc…

button_shape.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle">
    
    <solid   android:color="#EAEAEA"/>
    
    <corners    android:bottomLeftRadius="8dip"
                android:topRightRadius="8dip"
                android:topLeftRadius="1dip"
                android:bottomRightRadius="1dip"
                />
</shape>

here you can change the radius of corners

you can use this button_shape in your button’s code as

android:background=”@drawable/button_shape”

here’s the code

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <TextView   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Hello Android from NetBeans"/>

    <Button android:id="@+id/button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Nishant Nair"
            android:padding="5dip"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:background="@drawable/button_shape"
            />

</LinearLayout>

you can add an image to your button by using drawable

android:drawableTop=”@drawable/pdf”

in your button’s xml code

this will look like this

Enjoy.. 😉 !!!!!!!
