Resize ImageButton?

Question

I want to resize my ImageButton using mouse on graphic layout or using code by android:layout_width , android:layout_height. But whenever I do this, the ImageButton isn't resized, in fact and it's not smaller but it is cut at the edges.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

try setting android:background instead of android:src for setting the image on the button. That might help in your case, since it will stretch the image to your button's size. Also, you will have to specify fixed dimensions for the buttons (use dip instead of px). Example:

<ImageButton
     android:background="@drawable/ic_menu_more"
     android:layout_width="50dip"
     android:layout_height="50dip" />

    <ImageButton
        android:layout_width="48dp"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:background="@drawable/ic_star_border"
    />
or
       <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="36dp"
            android:layout_height="36dp"
            android:background="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
            android:scaleType="fitXY"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_delete" />

Answer 4

From steven-byle's solution (https://stackoverflow.com/a/15117536/1741997), he says:

"...Use an android:scaleType="fitCenter" to have Android scale the images, and android:adjustViewBounds="true" to have them adjust their bounds due to scaling..."

It works for me

Answer 5

You can use NinePatchDrawable... A resizeable bitmap, with stretchable areas that you define.

It might be the problem with size of your image..Try to use resized image then use it in your image button.Then you can set the width and height of the button .
