Working
with Images
Images are used to make the user interface interactive and
more user friendly. Images can be used with almost all the widgets like
TextView, EditText, Buttons, ImageButtons etc.
To use the images we need to create a “drawable” folder in
“res” folder and put all the images in this “drawable” folder.
Demo App
: “Working with Images”
What we will do : We have five images named “one”,
“two”, “three”, “four” and “five”.
We have five buttons on main screen named “One”, “Two”, “Three”, “Four” and “Five”.
When clicks on a particular button, we will show the
respective image in Image View using
method setImageResource(resourceId);
