You should use a ImageButton and specify the image in android src  and set android scaletype to fitXY    Setting scaled drawable in code  Drawable drawable   getResources   getDrawable R drawable s vit   drawable setBounds 0  0   int  drawable getIntrinsicWidth   0 5                              int  drawable getIntrinsicHeight   0 5    ScaleDrawable sd   new ScaleDrawable drawable  0  scaleWidth  scaleHeight   Button btn   findViewbyId R id yourbtnID   btn setCompoundDrawables sd getDrawable    null  null  null     set drawableLeft for example

Did you try wrapping your image in a ScaleDrawable and then using it in your button

I have found a very simple and effective XML solution that doesn t require ImageButton  Make a drawable file for your image as below and use it for android drawableLeft   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt layer-list xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt        lt item     android id    id half overlay      android drawable   drawable myDrawable      android width  40dp      android height  40dp        gt    lt  layer-list gt    You can set the image size with android width and android height properties   This way you could at least get the same size for different screens   The drawback is that it is not exactly like fitXY which would scale image width to fit X and scale image height accordingly

Use a ScaleDrawable as Abhinav suggested   The problem is that the drawable doesn t show then - it s some sort of bug in ScaleDrawables  you ll need to change the  level  programmatically  This should work for every button      Fix level of existing drawables Drawable   drawables   myButton getCompoundDrawables    for  Drawable d   drawables  if  d    null  amp  amp  d instanceof ScaleDrawable  d setLevel 1   myButton setCompoundDrawables drawables 0   drawables 1   drawables 2   drawables 3

Buttons do not resize their inner images   My solution does not require code manipulation   It uses a layout with TextView and ImageView   The background of the layout should have the red 3d drawable   You may need to define the android scaleType xml attribute   Example    lt LinearLayout     android id    id list item      android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  50dp      android padding  2dp   gt        lt ImageView         android layout width  50dp          android layout height  fill parent          android src   drawable camera    gt        lt TextView         android layout width  fill parent          android layout height  fill parent          android layout weight  1          android lines  1          android gravity  center vertical          android text  Hello - primary    gt    lt  LinearLayout gt    BTW    Counting on different resolution icons may result in a non predictable UI  icon too big or too small  Text in textview  including in buttons  does not fill the component  This is an Android problem and I don t know how to solve it  You can use it as an include    Good luck

I tried the techniques of this post but didnot find any of them so attractive  My solution was to use an imageview and textview and align the imageview top and bottom to the textview  This way I got the desired result  Here s some code    lt RelativeLayout     android id    id relativeLayout1      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  48dp   gt         lt ImageView         android id    id imageView1          android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android layout alignParentLeft  true          android layout alignTop    id textViewTitle          android layout alignBottom    id textViewTitle          android src   drawable ic back    gt        lt TextView         android id    id textViewBack          android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android layout alignBaseline    id textViewTitle          android layout alignBottom    id textViewTitle          android layout toRightOf    id imageView1          android text  Back          android textColor   color app red          android textSize   dimen title size    gt   lt  RelativeLayout gt

It is because you did not setLevel  after you setLevel 1   it will be display as u want

Using  BATCH DRAWABLE IMPORT  feature you can import custom size depending upon your requirement example 20dp 20dp   Now after importing use the imported drawable image as drawable source for your button It s simpler this way

I am doing it as below  This creates a 100x100 size image in the button independent of the input image   drawable bounds   Rect 0 0 100 100  button setCompoundDrawables drawable  null  null  null    Not using ScaleDrawable either  Not using button setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds   solved my problem  as that seems to use intrinsic bounds  source image size  instead of the bounds you just set

You can call setBounds on the  compound  drawables to modify the size of the image    Try this code to autosize the drawable of your button   DroidUtils scaleButtonDrawables  Button  findViewById R id ButtonTest   1 0     defined by this function   public final class DroidUtils            scale the Drawables of a button to  fit          For left and right drawables  height is scaled          eg  with fitFactor 1 the image has max  the height of the button          For top and bottom drawables  width is scaled           With fitFactor 0 9 the image has max  90  of the width of the button                 public static void scaleButtonDrawables Button btn  double fitFactor            Drawable   drawables   btn getCompoundDrawables             for  int i   0  i  lt  drawables length  i                  if  drawables i     null                    int imgWidth   drawables i  getIntrinsicWidth                    int imgHeight   drawables i  getIntrinsicHeight                    if   imgHeight  gt  0   amp  amp   imgWidth  gt  0          might be -1                     float scale                      if   i    0      i    2       left or right - gt  scale height                         scale    float   btn getHeight     fitFactor    imgHeight                        else     top or bottom - gt  scale width                         scale    float   btn getWidth     fitFactor    imgWidth                                                                if  scale  lt  1 0                            Rect rect   drawables i  getBounds                            int newWidth    int  imgWidth   scale                           int newHeight    int  imgHeight   scale                           rect left   rect left    int  0 5    imgWidth - newWidth                             rect top   rect top    int  0 5    imgHeight - newHeight                            rect right   rect left   newWidth                          rect bottom   rect top   newHeight                          drawables i  setBounds rect                                                                             Be aware  that this may not be called in onCreate   of an activity  because button height and width are not  yet  available there  Call this in on onWindowFocusChanged   or use this solution to call the function    Edited    The first incarnation of this function did not work correctly  It used userSeven7s code to scale the image  but returning ScaleDrawable getDrawable   does not seem to work  neither does returning ScaleDrawable  for me   The modified code uses setBounds to provide the bounds for the image  Android fits the image into these bounds

You can use different sized drawables that are used with different screen densities sizes  etc  so that your image looks right on all devices   See here  http   developer android com guide practices screens support html support
