How can I add an image on EditText

Question

I want to dynamically add image in EditText. Is it possible? anybody knows please give sample code for that.

Answer 1

If something like this:

is what you're talking about, then you just need to either set the Drawable{Right | Left | Top | Bottom} property in the xml, or call the corresponding java command.

EditText text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.check_box), null);

Answer 2

Hi , you can add an image to your EditText through android:background="@drawable/img" if you want to modify the style by using nine patch or else , but if you want to add a small image in the left of your EditText think to use nandroid:drawableRight="@drawable/icon"
