How do I put images in a EditText field? [duplicate]

Question

I'd like to put an image in an EditText field, as shown. How should one go about this? Layered-list with the image on one layer and a lot of padding on the left side of the EditText on the other layer?

Answer 1

To set the image in editText.

<EditText
   ......  
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/image" />

You can set it Left, Right, Top, Bottom.

Answer 2

Just use the

setCompoundDrawables(Drawable left, Drawable top, Drawable right, Drawable bottom)

or

setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(Drawable left, Drawable top, Drawable right, Drawable bottom)

methods.
