ToggleButton
inherits from TextView
so you can set drawables to be displayed at the 4 borders of the text. You can use that to display the icon you want on top of the text and hide the actual text
<ToggleButton
android:id="@+id/toggleButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableTop="@android:drawable/ic_menu_info_details"
android:gravity="center"
android:textOff=""
android:textOn=""
android:textSize="0dp" />
The result compared to regular ToggleButton
looks like
The seconds option is to use an ImageSpan
to actually replace the text with an image. Looks slightly better since the icon is at the correct position but can't be done with layout xml directly.
You create a plain ToggleButton
<ToggleButton
android:id="@+id/toggleButton3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checked="false" />
Then set the "text" programmatially
ToggleButton button = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton3);
ImageSpan imageSpan = new ImageSpan(this, android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details);
SpannableString content = new SpannableString("X");
content.setSpan(imageSpan, 0, 1, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
button.setText(content);
button.setTextOn(content);
button.setTextOff(content);
The result here in the middle - icon is placed slightly lower since it takes the place of the text.
