Change icon in button if (condition)

Question

I have a button with icon and text inside.

<Button
...
android:drawableStart="@drawable/my_button"
android:text="ABC"
...
/>

I would like to change icon from code if condition exists.

if (condition)
   setIcon1()
else
   setIcon2()

It has to be a button otherwise the layouts will split up.

What exactly is the question? How to set a drawable on a View in code? — Michael, Nov 27 '19 at 09:38

You can try this way:

Button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
        R.drawable.my_button,
        R.drawable.my_button,
        R.drawable.my_button,
        R.drawable.my_button
    )

I recommend you to have a look on this tutorial for more detail.

    Drawable img = getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.profile_aadhar );
    binding.btn.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( img, null, null, null);

     position to set
     Note setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( left, top, right, bottom);

you can use it like this.

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/my_button"
    android:text="ABC"
    />



if (condition)
    btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.img1); 
else
    btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.img2);

It will work.
