ImageButton in Kotlin (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 29 Jan, 2025

Android **ImageButton is a user interface widget which is used to display a button having image and to perform exactly like button when we click on it but here, we add an image on Image button instead of text. There are different types of buttons available in android like ImageButton, ToggleButton, etc. We can add an image to the button simply by using attribute **android:src in activity_main.xml file or by using **setImageResource() method.

In android, we can create ImageButton control in two ways either manually or programmatically.

Different attributes of Switch widget

XML Attributes Description
android:id Used to uniquely identify the control.
android:src Used to specify the source file of the image.
android:onClick Used to Specifies what to do when this button is clicked.
android:visibility Used to set visibility of the image button.
android:background Used to set background color of the Image button.
android:maxHeight Used to set maximum height of the Image button view.
android:maxWidth Used to set maximum width of the Image button view.
android:padding Used to set the padding from left, right, top and bottom.

Step by Step Implementation of ImageButton

Let us check a example implementing the ImageButton in Android.

Step 1: Create New Project

First we create a new project by following the below steps:

  1. Click on File, then **New => **New Project.
  2. After that include the Kotlin support and click on next.
  3. Select the minimum SDK as per convenience and click **next button.
  4. Then select the **Empty activity => **next => **finish.

Step 2: Use ImageButton in activity_main.xml file

In this file, we include the Edittext and ImageButton and set their attributes like id, layout_width, hint etc.

activity_main.xml:

XML `

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/Num1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:hint= "Enter first number"/>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/Num2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:hint= "Enter second number"/>

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/imageBtn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="100dp"
    android:src="@android:drawable/btn_plus" />

`

Layout:

Layout_ImageView

Step 3: Access ImageButton and EditText in MainActivity.kt file

First of all, we declare two variables num1 and num2 for both edittext and access them using the ids.

val num1 = findViewById(R.id.Num1)
val num2 = findViewById(R.id.Num2)

then, we declare variable **imgbtn for the ImageButton and set the OnCLickListener to check the filled is empty or not

val imgbtn = findViewById(R.id.imageBtn)
imgbtn.setOnClickListener {
if (num1.text.toString().isEmpty() || num2.text.toString().isEmpty()) {
Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
"Enter both numbers", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}

MainActivity.kt:

Kotlin `

package com.geeksforgeeks.myfirstkotlinapp

import android.os.Bundle import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity import android.widget.EditText import android.widget.ImageButton import android.widget.Toast

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    // Connecting the elements to the variables
      val num1 = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.Num1)
    val num2 = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.Num2)
    val imgbtn = findViewById<ImageButton>(R.id.imageBtn)
    
    // Function clicked called when button is clicked
    imgbtn.setOnClickListener {
         if (num1.text.toString().isEmpty() || num2.text.toString().isEmpty()) 
          {
          Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
              "Enter both numbers", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
        else 
          {
            val num1 = Integer.parseInt(num1.text.toString())
            val num2 = Integer.parseInt(num2.text.toString())
            Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
                "Sum of the numbers = " + (num1 + num2),
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }
}

}

`

Output:

ImageButton
