I'm trying to use a DrawableButton for my interface. In doing that, &nbsp;I need to set the images. Trouble is the function requieres drawables.&nbsp;In the documentation, it says about the constructor that :

> The base class can't be instantiated directly.

How should I instantiate my Drawable?

Drawable is a base class. &nbsp;You want to use DrawableImage.

You can also use the static methods Drawable::createFromImageFile,&nbsp;createFromImageData, etc
