Question

I need button with text in the middle and icon left of text.

my button :

<Button
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:onClick=""
            android:text="@string/search_button"
            android:textColor="@drawable/button_text"
            android:layout_weight="1"

I need button with width fill_parent (all screen width)

but I have this :

How can I set image position center, near the text?

Answer 1

Then only way to do that, is to use padding. In your case you want the image to move to the right, so use android:paddingLeft="50dp" or the amount of dips you want to move.

EDIT: also add android:gravity="left | center" in order to get the text right with the image.
