Android UI Components: Button

Buttons are a fundamental part of Android user interface design. They are used to trigger actions when tapped by the user. In this section, we will discuss the various aspects of buttons in Android UI components.

Types of Buttons

• Normal Buttons: These are the most common type of buttons. They can be used to trigger actions such as opening a new activity or submitting a form.
• Image Buttons: These buttons combine an image with a text label. They are often used for actions that are more visually recognizable.
• Toggle Buttons: These buttons can be toggled on or off to represent a binary state, such as enabling or disabling a feature.

Styling Buttons

You can style buttons in various ways to match the look and feel of your app. Here are some common styling options:

• Background Color: You can set a background color for the button to make it stand out.
• Text Color: The text color can be set to contrast with the background color.
• Border: You can add a border to the button to make it more distinct.
• Elevation: This adds a shadow to the button, giving it a 3D effect.

Example Usage

Here's an example of how to create a simple button in an Android activity:

Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText("Click Me");
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Perform an action when the button is clicked
    }
});
