I want to add an icon to a Button that I created from Java, after hours I didn't find a solution yet...
I have something like this:
Button button = new Button(context);
And I'd like to have something like this:
button.setIcon(Icon myicon);
Is this possible? ;)
You can use the MaterialButton:
MaterialButton button = new MaterialButton(this);
button.setIcon(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.ic_add_24px));
button.setText("Button");
If you want a Button with image then in XML you have ImageButton that have attribute of drawableLeft/drawableRight..etc. So you can set in from there. In java I think you can set in the same way by calling setResourceDrawable.
you could also setIcon an XML file, Please try this
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me"
android:drawableRight="@drawable/ic_icon" <!--also have drawableLeft:-->
android:drawablePadding="20dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
