I just added a new drawable
folder under res
folder. In the drawable
folder, i copied the ic_launcher.png
file from
This misled me a bit - it should be setImageResource
instead of setBackgroundResource
:) !!
The following works fine :
ImageButton btn = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
btn.setImageResource(R.drawable.actions_record);
while when using the setBackgroundResource
the actual imagebutton's image
stays while the background image is changed which leads to a ugly looking imageButton object
Thanks.
