Android customized button, the button you're waiting for

Dear friends, in this post I'm gonna show you how to customize a button in android.

First of all, here you have the source code so you can analyze it.

How to run the example:

You must modify 'default.properties' and point 'sdk-folder' variable to your android sdk directory. In my example I use linux an it points to '/opt/android-sdk'. I use 1.5 API version.

• Requirements: android-sdk, apache ant.


• Extract it


• Run an emulator (emulator @name)


• ant compile (sometimes it fails due to it can't find some tools in the android sdk tools directory (/opt/android-sdk/tools), link it from android sdk platform directory (/opt/android-sdk/platform/version/tools) to android sdk tools directory.


• ant install


• That's it

Here you can se an image of the button
