Android ImageButton with Image and Text

I want to have a button that has an image on top and some text on bottom. Both the image and text are decided during runtime, so I want to be able to combine ImageButton's setImageBitmap and Button's setText for each button.

Any ideas?

Thanks Chris

Surround both image Button and text View code in .... to override text on image button's background. i.e:

 <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
            android:layout_width="100dp"
            android:layout_height="100dp"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="69dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="96dp"
            android:background="@drawable/icon"
            android:scaleType="fitXY" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:text="Droid"
            android:textColor="#ff0000"
            android:textSize="24dip" >
        </TextView>
    </FrameLayout>

For eg: To set a bitmap image on top of the button, do something like

button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, new BitmapDrawable(bitmapimage), null, null);

I finally found what I was looking for:

setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds lets me assign a bitmap/drawable for a Button, at the same time letting me use setText.

I don't think there is an easy way to do that.

I would create a custom-component.
