drawable

I'm trying to draw a rounded rectangle with a border around it using a class that extends ShapeDrawable (see here ) and everything is working except that the shapedrawable seems to be cutting off some of the border because the shape itself doesn't extend outside those bounds. Is there not some way to offset where the shapedrawable starts drawing so that there is some padding between the bounds of the shape itself and the canvas? I have tried both ShapeDrawable.setBounds to larger than the intrinsic size of the shape and ShapeDrawable.setPadding but don't seem to be getting anywhere. Should I

I'm using a Button <Button android:id="@+id/zoom" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@color/trans" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/left_img" android:fontFamily="arial" android:text="My Name is " android:textSize="50sp" /> and changing its text color with : zoom.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("voilet")); but not able to understand how to change its image?? Try this: int imgResource = R.drawable.left_img; button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(imgResource, 0, 0, 0); Reference The safest way to set the left drawable without changing

I've a full set of images at the various different pixel densities, and I need to put bitmap resources into the drawables folder (at MDPI) to use as default resources (to prevent crashing on pixel density devices I've not catered to, e.g. xhdpi), but that means duplicating the resources in the drawable-mdpi into the drawable folder. So as duplication is clearly bad, I'm wondering whether I should just delete the drawable-mdpi folder, and keep my MDPI resources in the (default) drawable folder Or am I missing something? You don't need to duplicate your resources. A good practice is to do the

EDIT: Sorry i realize from your comment my question was not clear enough. I will post a new one. Sorry for this and thanks for your answers I am populating a listview from a Json file. With my listadapter, I can easily assign appropriate json data to each row of my list. That works well for text, for example: TextView tv = (TextView)ll.findViewById(R.id.descView); tv.setText(i.desc); With the above code, every row will be correctly populated by the good json data. However, I don't manage to do the same thing for an image. I have tried to set the right image from my json data using this:

I've been through this post (and others) as well as through the documentation about supporting different screen resolutions in Android, but I couldn't find a clear answer to a (simple) question: Is it ok to just use "res/drawable" for images in an android app? Background: The only images that are needed in this specific app are the app icon itself and an icon for a notification, there won't be any images in any layout. So in my understanding, if no "hdpi"-, "mdpi"- and "ldpi"-folders are found, Android will use "res/drawable" as the fallback. As the only pitfall with different screen
