Answer 2

Another way to find a button in different forms

Use image button in xml as

  <ImageButton android:id="@+id/imageButton1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/shape_oval" /> 

Shape_oval is an image that we can take from Google surfing or draw ourselves in paint or photoshop.
