# Class Button

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.ui.Component
com.codename1.ui.Label
com.codename1.ui.Button

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Animation, Editable, ActionSource<ActionEvent>, StyleListener, IconHolder, ReleasableComponent, SelectableIconHolder, TextHolder`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `CheckBox, FloatingActionButton, LikeButton, Picker, RadioButton, ScaleImageButton, ShareButton`

public class Button extends Label implements ReleasableComponent, ActionSource<ActionEvent>, SelectableIconHolder

Button is the base class for several UI widgets allowing clickability. It has 3 states: rollover, pressed and the default state. `Button` can also have an `com.codename1.ui.events.ActionListener` that react when the `Button` is clicked or handle actions via a `com.codename1.ui.Command`.

Button has the "Button" UIID by default.

Here is trivial usage of the `Button` API:

    Form hi = new Form("Button");
    Button b = new Button("My Button");
    hi.add(b);
    b.addActionListener((e) -> Log.p("Clicked"));

This code shows a common use case of making a button look like a hyperlink

    Form hi = new Form("Button");
    Button b = new Button("Link Button");
    b.getAllStyles().setBorder(Border.createEmpty());
    b.getAllStyles().setTextDecoration(Style.TEXT_DECORATION_UNDERLINE);
    hi.add(b);
    b.addActionListener((e) -> Log.p("Clicked"));
