Android : Set padding of image in ImageButton programmatically

Question

I have a problem with an ImageButton. The position of my image is not good into the ImageButton.

is there a way to fix that programmatically ?

enter image description here

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/nouvelle_annonce_choose_image"
        style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
        android:layout_width="170dp"
        android:layout_height="170dp"
        android:scaleType="center"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_button"
        android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:src="@drawable/camera"
        android:text="hello"
        android:textColor="@color/blanc" />

rounded_button.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">
    <solid android:color="@color/blanc"/>
    <stroke android:width="3sp" android:color="@color/blue_dark_normal" />
</shape>

You've started to do it, with the android:layout_marginTop. Either add a bottom margin, or else just us layout_margin, and you should be able to adjust the image as desired.

In fact, it's because of the android:layout_marginTop that your image is off centered. It is putting a large margin at the top of the image, without compensating for it at the bottom.

If margin doesn't work, then try playing with padding. Padding affects how things are aligned within the image. Padding is simply android:padding, or android:paddingBottom attributes.

I use `android:layout_marginTop` to set the position of the ImageButton from other view. Not to set the position of my image inside my Imagebutton – wawanopoulos May 28 '14 at 12:48
Added more about padding, which should center the image better within the image. – PearsonArtPhoto May 28 '14 at 12:51
Ok with padding it's OK – wawanopoulos May 28 '14 at 12:53

Same result. I think that is my image which is not well formated – wawanopoulos May 28 '14 at 12:45
Probably the image has empty space at top. – adboco May 28 '14 at 12:53
