how to use an image as a button

Question

this should be an easy one and I really thought that what I was doing was correct but apparently it isn\'t. I have an image that I want to use as a button, I have the button

Answer 1

Make a use of

Create in your drawable-hdpi folder xml file called button_image.xml

and add the following lines:

and then in your main xml where you declare your button add this line

android:background="@drawable/button_image"

And then you get effect of reall button. Note that you need two pictures to get effect of button being clicked.

If you dont want to use the selector and use just picture instead then just

android:background="@drawable/myimage"
