Question

How to set property \"android:drawableTop\" of a button at runtime

Answer 1

Use

button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(left, top, right, bottom);

Sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the left of, above, to the right of, and below the text. Use 0 if you do not want a Drawable there. The Drawables' bounds will be set to their intrinsic bounds.

If you use

button.setCompoundDrawables(left, top, right, bottom);

Sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the left of, above, to the right of, and below the text. Use null if you do not want a Drawable there. The Drawables must already have had setBounds(Rect) called.

Answer 2

Drawable top = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image);
button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, top , null, null);

Answer 3

        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        button.setCompoundDrawables(left, top, right, bottom);

Answer 4

I use this code for use the "Theme.Holo" button with a "Custom image" at left and change it (the image)with a function that is called from various ways.

protected void app_dibujarLogojuego() {
    if(bitmaplogojuego!=null){
        bitmaplogojuego.recycle();
        bitmaplogojuego=null;
    }
    Drawable LOGO = null;
    if(verjuego.equals("COSA1")){  LOGO = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_logo_COSA1);  }
    if(verjuego.equals("COSA2")){  LOGO = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_logo_COSA2);  }
    if(verjuego.equals("COSA3")){  LOGO = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_logo_COSA3);  }
    if(verjuego.equals("COSA4")){  LOGO = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_logo_COSA4);  }

    BUTTON_DECLARED_ID.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(LOGO, null , null, null);
}

Answer 5

final Drawable drawableTop = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn_check_buttonless_on);

 btnByCust.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, drawableTop , null, null);

        }
    });
