android resources imagebutton drawable
Chris picture Chris · Jun 30, 2010 · Viewed 12.6k times · Source

Is there a way I can find what resource a particular ImageButton is set to, at any given time?

For eg: I have an ImageButton that I set to R.drawable.btn_on onCreate. Later, at some point, the ImageButton gets set to R.drawable.btn_off. I want to be able to check what resource the ImageButton is set to in my code.

Thanks Chris

Just use setTag() and getTag() to associate and retrieve custom data for your ImageView.
