1. Create your ImageButton via an appropriate constructor (e.g., new ImageButton(this);) 2. Configure the ImageButton with the desired image (e.g., setImageBitmap()) 3. Add the ImageButton to some container via addView(), supplying a suitable LayoutParams object (e.g., LinearLayout.LayoutParams) to configure where the button should appear 4. Make sure the whole thing is in a ScrollView to deal with the possibility that you have more buttons than the screen can hold Or, skip the buttons and use a ListView, so you can get a UI that is consistent with what users of other Android applications, or the iPhone, are used to. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
