 Hey,

 Is there a way to create a custom button style? Say I want a round
 button do I simply take the pre-made round graphic and make it the
 background of the button or will the button still be a rectangle?

You can use a png I believe with transparency to produce any style button
you want. I don't know if the hit-test for clicking on it will work only on
the image part or the whole square width/height size of the button itself
tho.

I had added a D-Pad image button to a game, and the transparent areas
still registered hits.  This was using the 1.5 SDK so I am not sure if
any of the newer SDKs have changed this.

2010-01-15 Thread Moto
None of the SDK versions will automatically check what areas in the
button should be a hit area...  it's just a plane W x H area

You will need to create a custom image button class and catch the
touch events and decide if it's a hit or not... :)

[android-developers] Re: Creating custom button looks?

2010-01-15 Thread theSmith
If you need multiple hit areas you may want to consider using several
images to create 'one' button.  For example a d-pad could be 5
imagebuttons, u/d/l/r and the middle.

This approach will most likely save you quite a headache.
