I have a Button with its width as match_parent. And I want a image/icon with a text in its center. I have triedandroid:drawableStart attribute but its of no help. I don't know what I am missing. Is there any one who is also facing the same problem. Note:This link is not solving my problem. I am attaching my button portion of xml android:background="@drawable/blue_button" android:id="@+id/btn_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:layout_marginRight="10dp" android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_list" android:text="@string/btn_schedule" android:textColor="@android:color/white" /> After adding these attribute my text is coming on center but image/icon is still on left side of button. Can any body help!!! asked 39 mins ago

	You might want to check my answer to this question: Android Button with text and image Its an ugly solution but it you want the image and text to be centered as a group in the button rather than text center and drawable padded from the side then its the only way I have found. answered 19 mins ago

	Use layout gravity attribute as follows android:Layout_gravity="center" if above not working the put this button in a linear layout and inside the linear layout put gravity attribute. That will surely work. please share your knowledge if its not working. answered 2 mins ago
