In my android app I have a Button for voting photos.

Can anyone help me hot can I fit the text on Button?

Any idea is welcome. Thanks in advance.

In xml I have this :

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/imagetitle"
        android:orientation="horizontal">
        <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Previous" android:id="@+id/previous" />
        <Button android:layout_width="185dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Vote for this picture" android:id="@+id/vote" />
        <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Next" android:id="@+id/next" />
    </LinearLayout>

I want that the button for voting to be on the same level and on the same line as button Next and Previous...and to see all the text clear on button — Gabrielle, Aug 01 '11 at 11:45
for second button use **android:width** directly and android:layout_width="wrap_content" — Hanry, Aug 01 '11 at 12:35

i think you want to align the top of all buttons add this line in your layout

LinearLayout android:baselineAligned="false"

Use "wrap_content" for the layout_height property of the Button
