I'm trying to do this:
I've tried to make customized square button:
public class SquareButton extends Button {
public SquareButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public SquareButton(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int height = getMeasuredHeight();
setMeasuredDimension(height, height);
}
}
and use it with icon and text under image, but without success. Button's background is a shape with gray stroke and white background color. Also there is an icon and string-text.

I use TextView
inside of constraintLayout
and that constraintLayout
together ImageView
inside of a FrameLayout
to unify all these stuffs. Using this method you can control text position using app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.9"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/tableLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:weightSum="2">
<!-- without Text-->
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="@drawable/ic_gift_box_giving" />
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/imageButton2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="@drawable/ic_money_bag_riyal" />
</TableRow>
<!-- with Text-->
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:weightSum="2">

Android allows you to replace the background for any control, just declare a shape with code around the likes of
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<stroke
android:width="3px"
android:color="#EDEDED"/>
</shape>
Set the button's background to that drawable and you are set for the white-with-gray-border button. You might want to wrap that drawable into a selector though, so another background is in place when the user touches the button.
And use the code and explanations in this question to achieve the text-below-image effect you want https://stackoverflow.com/a/4457063/528131
More info on shapes and drawables: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape

I created a view that is nearly exact to yours on a project I was working on...the solution I came up with was to have all of the images at the same, fixed dimensions. Then just wrapped the images in a TableLayout
to achieve the desired result you show in your mockup above.
