Question

How to set property "android:drawableTop" of a button at runtime

Answer 1

Use

button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(left, top, right, bottom);

Sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the left of, above, to the right of, and below the text. Use 0 if you do not want a Drawable there. The Drawables' bounds will be set to their intrinsic bounds.

If you use

button.setCompoundDrawables(left, top, right, bottom);

Sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the left of, above, to the right of, and below the text. Use null if you do not want a Drawable there. The Drawables must already have had setBounds(Rect) called.

Answer 2

Drawable top = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image); button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, top , null, null);
