Answer 1

How about using a SpannableString as the text with an ImageSpan?

Button myButton = ...
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString(" " + getString(R.string.my_button_text));
Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myIcon);
d.setBounds(0, 0, d.getIntrinsicWidth(), d.getIntrinsicHeight());
ImageSpan span = new ImageSpan(d, DynamicDrawableSpan.ALIGN_BOTTOM);
ss.setSpan(span, 0, 1, Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
myButton.setText(ss);
