How to Add an Icon and Text Together in an Android Button

In this tutorial, we will learn how to add an icon and text together in an android button using Android Studio. We will use the PNG image for the icon and set it to display on different sides of the button.

To start with, you need to have Android Studio version 2.3.3 or later installed on your computer. You can download it from the official website if you don't already have it. You also need an Android emulator or a physical Android mobile device to test your app.

Once you have downloaded and installed Android Studio, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a New Android Project

Open Android Studio and start a new Android project. Choose 'Empty Activity' as the project type and name your project. You can choose your application name and select where you want to store your project files.

Step 2: Design Your Layout File

In the res/layout folder, create a new XML file named android_button_with_icon_text.xml. This is where we will design our layout for the button. In this file, add different buttons to display image/icon in different sides of the button with text.

Here's an example of how you can do it:

```xml

android:layout_width='match_parent'

android:layout_height='match_parent'>

android:id='@+id/button_with_icon_and_text'

android:layout_width='wrap_content'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:textSize='24sp'

android:textColor='#000000' />

```

Step 3: Add Icons to Your Button

To add an icon to your button, you can use XML attributes such as `android:drawableLeft`, `android:drawableRight`, `android:drawableTop`, and `android:drawableBottom`. These attributes allow you to set the icon for different sides of the button.

For example, if you want to display an icon on the left side of your button text, you can use the `android:drawableLeft` attribute. Here's how you can do it:

```xml

android:id='@+id/button_with_icon_and_text'

android:layout_width='wrap_content'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:textSize='24sp'

android:textColor='#000000'

android:drawableLeft='@drawable/icon' />

```

In this example, `@drawable/icon` is the name of your icon image.

Step 4: Set Your Button's Properties

You can also set properties such as border color for your button using XML attributes. Here's how you can do it:

```xml

android:id='@+id/button_with_icon_and_text'

android:layout_width='wrap_content'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:textSize='24sp'

android:textColor='#000000'

android:drawableLeft='@drawable/icon'

android:backgroundTint='#ff69b4'

android:borderWidth='2dp'

android:borderColor='#ff69b4' />

```

In this example, we have set the background tint and border color for our button.

That's it! With these steps, you can add an icon and text together in an Android button using Android Studio. You can also customize your button's properties such as font size, color, and more to give it a unique look.

In this tutorial, we have learned how to add an icon and text together in an Android button. We used the PNG image for the icon and set it to display on different sides of the button using XML attributes. We also learned how to customize our button's properties such as border color and more. With these skills, you can create a unique and user-friendly interface for your Android app.

android:layout_height='wrap_content'
