java - Set drawable size programmatically

Question

The images (icons) come in roughly the same size, but I need to resize them in order for the buttons to remain the same height.

How do I do this?

Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText(apiEventObject.getTitle());
button.setOnClickListener(listener);

/*
 * set clickable id of button to actual event id
 */
int id = Integer.parseInt(apiEventObject.getId());
button.setId(id);

button.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
        android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
        android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

Drawable drawable = LoadImageFromWebOperations(apiSizeObject.getSmall());
//?resize drawable here? drawable.setBounds(50, 50, 50, 50);
button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(drawable, null, null, null);

Answer 1

The setBounds() method doesn't work for every type of container (did work for some of my ImageView's, however).

Try the method below to scale the drawable itself:

// Read your drawable from somewhere
Drawable dr = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.somedrawable);
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) dr).getBitmap();
// Scale it to 50 x 50
Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 50, 50, true));
// Set your new, scaled drawable "d"
