I have an image button shape like a 'star' and i what the clickable area to be only the 'star' but instead of that i have a transparent square clickable area around the 'star', can anyone please tell me how to remove the square bcoz the next 'star' it's close and the square overlaps the first 'star'. thank you so much

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="190dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="180dp">

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/star"
        android:layout_width="120dp"
        android:layout_height="120dp"
        android:background="@drawable/star"
        />

  • you can try this one on this link, a little explenation would be use onTouchListener instead of onclick http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15343266/how-to-prevent-onclick-method-on-transparent-portion-of-a-png-loaded-imageview – Rashid Feb 05 '16 at 01:41

Instead of ImageButton you can user ImageView and make in clicable.

Set 

android:background=@android:color/transparent

and insert 

android:src=@drawable/star

Or just use an ImageView instead, because you can have OnClickListener on both, therefore they could also function as described in your question.

You can use:

android:background="@null"

in the imageButton tag.
