Sorry, I have tried all attributes for android:scaleType but it still doesn't work.
I tried debugging it using log.d to see the width of the view int a =startGameB.getWidth(); int b = startGameB.getHeight(); log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(a)); log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(b)); the result is "width = 480px", which is what I want. However, the background image is not 480px. It is much smaller than 480px. Again, the xml for the button is: <Button android:id="@+id/start_game_button" android:layout_width="480px" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/Start_Game" android:textSize="25dip" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:background="@drawable/startgame_button" /> How can I change the size of the background image for the button?
