Apologies - clarification - "Not working" means i don't see the background 9.png image.
I changed the Button element to point directly to the 9.png image - and that works. from: <Button android:background="@drawable/dialpad_selector" </Button> to: <Button android:background="@drawable/dialpad" </Button> the reason the images are the same in the selector right now - is for test purposes. once i can see it working - i plan to set the rest to different images.
