Android: How to change the default shape of a button?

Is it possible to change the default shape (like a rectangular) of a button (a regular button as well as an image button) to something else like a star or triangle in Android? Any tutorials or code examples would be much appreciated.

It depends on how you define "shape".

Visually, you change the shape by changing the background resource of the button. See this previous SO question and answer .



However, I haven't tried this with anything non-rectangular, so it is entirely possible that although it looks like a star, the "hot zone" for clicks may still be the original rectangle.

You can take a look at the RatingBar

open source Android implementation that uses stars and see if they do something out of the ordinary.
