How to get drawable from a button?

Question

Since on button, we can use android:drawableLeft to set the drawable on the left of a button. Is there way to get this drawable programmatically?

<Button android:id="@+id/detail_refresh_btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:text="@string/refresh" 
        android:gravity="center"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/progress"
/>

Is there any way to get the drawable "progress" in Java code?

Answer 1

I think you want Button.getCompoundDrawables()[0]

Answer 2

Looking at : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Button.html

You can see that

myButton.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(Drawable,Drawable,Drawable,Drawable)

Should give you what your looking for.

Order: Left, top, right, and bottom
