I need to set two attributes like in a xml:

<ImageButton

     android:id="@+id/btn_friendsMainMenu"

     android:src="@drawable/general_btn_header_friendlist"

     android:background="@drawable/ripple"

     android:layout_width="wrap_content"

     android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

As you see, there is a background and an src attribute. How do I set BOTH programmatically?

I only know of one: Which one is it? And what is the other one?

 btnBack.SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.thebook_backbutton);

Use setImageResource() to set android:src to your ImageButton

setImageResource() Sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView.

SAMPLE CODE

btnBack.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_camera);

Use setBackgroundResource() to set android:background to your ImageButton

SAMPLE CODE

btnBack.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorAccent);

you can do it by this code:

private void initView() {



        rootLayout =new LinearLayout(this);

        rootLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.layer_5));

        imgLogo=new ImageView(this);

        imgLogo.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.splash_logo));



        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(

             350,

             350);





        imgLogo.setLayoutParams(params);

        rootLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

        rootLayout.addView(imgLogo);

        setContentView(rootLayout);

    } 

and call initView method in your onCreate

imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.some_bg_res); // for setting background 'android:background'

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.some_res); // for setting src 'android:src'

setImageResource() is for android:src. ImageButton inherits it from ImageView.

btnBack.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.drawable_name)

setBackgroundResource() sets the background - it differs from setBackground() by taking a ressource id (as int) as input.

I am fairly sure setImage() is the method setting the 'src' attribute in xml. It also comes in some different variants. If you want to set a drawable as in your example use setImageDrawable().

You can set image to ImageView programatically in Android please use bellow like of code.

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.android_image3);

android:src is set with setImageResource()

and

android:background is set with setBackgroundResource()

In code

ImageButton btn = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btn_friendsMainMenu);

btn.setImageResource(R.drawable.general_btn_header_friendlist)

btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ripple)

ImagResource will be on top of the BackgroundResource.
