You can set setBackgroundDrawable() on Button to add a background to the button. Any text can be placed above the background. If you need some xml related content, you can use the android:background attribute.

The following method mainly solves the operation of adding background, icon and text on a button:

<Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/home_btn_test"
        android:drawableTop="@drawable/home_icon_test"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:id="@+id/ButtonTest"
        android:paddingTop="32sp"
        android:drawablePadding="-15sp"
        android:text="this is text"></Button>

If you want to achieve more complex effects, you can use RelativeLayout to set its clickability.

I think there are some better solutions, just take a normal Button and do it with drawableLeft and gravity properties:

<Button
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:drawableLeft="@drawable/my_btn_icon"
  android:gravity="left|center_vertical" />

In this way, a button button will appear on the left side of the button, and the article will be on the right side of the button, centered.

Just use

android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:drawableTop="@drawable/[your background image here]"

Alternative

android:background="@drawable/icon"

That’s it
