I created a useful abstract class DrawableClickListener which implements OnTouchListener.
In addition to the DrawableClickListener class, I also created 4 additional abstract classes which extend the DrawableClickListener class and handle the clicking of the drawable area for the correct quadrant.
- LeftDrawableClickListener
- TopDrawableClickListener
- RightDrawableClickListener
- BottomDrawableClickListener
Point to Consider
One thing to consider is that the images are not resized if done this way; thus the images must be scaled correctly before being put into the res/drawable folder(s).
If you define a LinearLayout containing an ImageView and a TextView, it's a lot easier to manipulate the size of the image being displayed.
