Is there a way to widen the click area for ImageButton?

I have a table with each cell having multiple buttons. I'm noticing that since the ImageButtons are small, sometimes the user ends up clicking the cell when they really meant to click the ImageButton.

Is there a way to widen the clickable area of an Imagebutton?

You can use TouchDelegate.

Example:

 Rect delegateArea = new Rect();

 button.getHitRect(delegateArea);

 delegateArea.top -= 60000;
 delegateArea.bottom += 60000;
 delegateArea.left -= 60000;
 delegateArea.right += 60000;

 final TouchDelegate expandedArea = new TouchDelegate(delegateArea,
                    button);

 if (View.class.isInstance(button.getParent())) {
          ((View) button.getParent()).setTouchDelegate(expandedArea);
 }

Hope its help.

Since padding is a space between view's content and its border, padding is your friend. Increase button's padding it and you notice that clickable area became bigger.

If you do not want to affect the visual bounds, use a TouchDelegate. This is covered in the developer documentation.

Have you tried setting the padding on the ImageButton? This usually means make the contents not touch the sides of the view then just make the view a bit bigger to compensate.
