Working with Images In Android

Working with Images

Images are used to make the user interface interactive and more user friendly. Images can be used with almost all the widgets like TextView, EditText, Buttons, ImageButtons etc.

To use the images we need to create a “drawable” folder in “res” folder and put all the images in this “drawable” folder.

Demo App : “Working with Images”

What we will do : We have five images named “one”, “two”, “three”, “four” and “five”.

We have five buttons on main screen named “One”, “Two”, “Three”, “Four” and “Five”.

When clicks on a particular button, we will show the respective image in Image View using method setImageResource(resourceId);

main_activity.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
