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

    ImageButton imageButton;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        addListenerOnButton();
    }
    public void addListenerOnButton() {
        imageButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
        imageButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
               Toast.makeText(MyAndroidAppActivity.this,
                "ImageButton is clicked!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }
