Center a drawable in a Button with background and no text

android, button

Solution

Is there a way to center the `drawable` without abandoning `Button`

So you can have both (background & drawable) by using `ImageView` as below: (So No need to use Button)

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/an_icon"
    android:background="@drawable/a_background" />

For `OnClick` of `ImageView`:

findViewById(R.id.imageView1).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});

Problem

I have a few buttons in my Android app. They each look kinda like this: ``` <Button android:id="@+id/button_1" android:drawableTop="@drawable/an_icon" android:background="@drawable/a_background" android:layout_width="size_dp" android:layout_height="size_dp"> </Button> ``` Granted, I'm new to Android dev, but I can't figure out how to center the drawable in my button. I've tried the different drawableLocations, margins and padding for the button and its container, as well as drawablePadding, but I can't seem to get it done. Is there a way to center the drawable without abandoning Button for another View?
