You just use an ImageButton and make the background whatever you want and set the icon as the src.

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/ImageButton01"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/album_icon"
    android:background="@drawable/round_button" />

@EmadAghayi src is the actual icon that will be used in the ImageButton; background is the shape of the original button, which is a rectangle by default. If you want to use only the image, you can omit it, or you can use other colors/shapes around the icon. – ocramot May 25 '17 at 15:47

just use a Button with android:drawableRight properties like this:

<Button android:id="@+id/btnNovaCompra" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/btn_novaCompra"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:drawableRight="@drawable/shoppingcart"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

You can just set the onClick of an ImageView and also set it to be clickable, Or set the drawableBottom property of a regular button.

    ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);
   iv.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

   }
   });

You can use the button :

1 - make the text empty

2 - set the background for it

+3 - you can use the selector to more useful and nice button

About the imagebutton you can set the image source and the background the same picture and it must be (*.png) when you do it you can make any design for the button

and for more beauty button use the selector //just Google it ;)
