Re: GIMP script for creating Android icons at once
It would be worthwhile to use DIR-SEPARATOR instead of "/" so this will work on (cough) Windows.

Re: Creating Android button with image and text using relative layout
Hy babar,
you can add following code to RelativeLayoutButton class to support differnent colors of text on button:

public void setTextColor(int id, int color)
{
View v = findViewById(id);
if (null != v && v instanceof TextView)
{
((TextView)v).setTextColor(color);
}
}

and then from your main code you can set text color of specific text on button using following code:

button3.setTextColor(R.id.test_button_text2, Color.BLUE);
