You can also set background is transparent  So the button looks like fit your icon     lt ImageButton     android id    id Button01      android scaleType  fitcenter       android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  wrap content      android cropToPadding  false      android paddingLeft  10dp      android background   android color transparent      android src   drawable eye    gt

You don t have to use it using src attribute  Wrong way  The image won t fit the button   android src   drawable myimage    Right way is to use background atttribute   lt ImageButton         android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android layout centerInParent  true          android background   drawable skin    gt    where skin is an xml   skin xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt        lt  --  lt item android drawable   drawable button disabled  android state enabled  false   gt  -- gt       lt item android drawable   drawable button pressed  android state pressed  true   gt       lt  --  lt item android drawable   drawable button focused  android state focused  true   gt  -- gt       lt item android drawable   drawable button normal   gt    lt  selector gt    using button pressed png and button normal png   This will also help you in creating your skinned button with 4 states of pressed   normal   disabled and focussed  Make sure to keep same sizes of all pngs

I think you already solved this problem  and as other answers suggested  android background   drawable eye    is available  But I prefer  android src   drawable eye  android background  00000000     transparent   and it works well too  of course former code will set image as a background and the other will set image as a image  But according to your selected answer  I guess you meant 9-patch

You re probably going to have to resize the button programmatically   You ll need to explicitly load the image in your onCreate   method  and resize the button there     public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState       setContentView R layout main       ImageButton myButton    ImageButton  findViewById R id button       Bitmap image   BitmapFactory decodeResource R drawable eye       myButton setBitmap image       myButton setMinimumWidth image getWidth         myButton setMinimumHeight image getHeight               It s not guaranteed to work  according to the specifications for setMinimumX  since the width and height are still dependent on the parent view   but it should work pretty well for almost every situation

android background   drawable eye    works automatically   android src   drawable eye    was what I used with all the problems of resizing the image the the width and height of the button

you are setting the image with the property  src   android src   drawable eye  gt    use  background  property instead  src  property   android background   drawable eye    like    lt ImageButton   android id    id Button01    android scaleType  fitXY     android layout width  wrap content    android layout height  wrap content    android cropToPadding  false    android paddingLeft  10dp    android background   drawable eye  gt     this is the image eye   lt  ImageButton gt

Try to use ScaleType centerInside    ScaleTypes are not properly rendered in Eclipse Layout designer  so test in your running app

Did you try to give the layout width and layout height like the following  Since you are setting with wrap content  the image button expands to the size of source image s height and width    lt blink gt         lt ImageButton gt      android id    id Button01      android scaleType  fitXY       android layout width  80dip      android layout height  80dip      android cropToPadding  false      android paddingLeft  10dp      android src   drawable eye  gt      lt  ImageButton gt   lt  blink gt
