Answer 1

You can use the function below:

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.drawableRight, 0); 

or (if you want to pass the drawable itself instead of its ID)

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, ContextCompat.getDrawable(context,R.drawable.drawableRight), null) 

The order of params corresponding to the drawable location is: left, top, right, bottom

EditText myEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEdit); myEdit.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.icon, 0);   // where params are (left,top,right,bottom) 

You can also set drawable padding programmatically:

myEdit.setCompoundDrawablePadding("Padding value");
