as  J  r  my Reynaud pointing out  as described in this answer  the safest way to set the left drawable without changing the values of the other drawables  top  right  and bottom  is by using the previous values from the button with setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds   Drawable leftDrawable   getContext   getResources                              getDrawable R drawable yourdrawable       Or use ContextCompat    Drawable leftDrawable   ContextCompat getDrawable getContext                                              R drawable yourdrawable    Drawable   drawables   button getCompoundDrawables    button setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds leftDrawable drawables 1                                                  drawables 2   drawables 3      So all your previous drawable will be preserved

Kotlin Version  Use below snippet to add a drawable left to the button   val drawable   ContextCompat getDrawable context  R drawable ic favorite white 16dp  button setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds drawable  null  null  null           Important Point in Using Android Vector Drawable  When you are using an android vector drawable and want to have backward compatibility for API below 21  add the following codes to   In app level build gradle   android       defaultConfig           vectorDrawables useSupportLibrary   true           In Application class   class MyApplication   Application          override fun onCreate             super onCreate            AppCompatDelegate setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled true

You can use the setCompoundDrawables method to do this  See the example here  I used this without using the setBounds and it worked  You can try either way   UPDATE  Copying the code here incase the link goes down  Drawable img   getContext   getResources   getDrawable R drawable smiley   img setBounds 0  0  60  60   txtVw setCompoundDrawables img  null  null  null     or  Drawable img   getContext   getResources   getDrawable R drawable smiley   txtVw setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds img  null  null  null     or   txtVw setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds R drawable smiley  0  0  0

Add a Kotlin Extension  If you are going to be doing this frequently  adding an extension makes your code more readable  Button extends TextView  use Button if you want to be more narrow   fun TextView leftDrawable  DrawableRes id  Int   0        this setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds id  0  0  0      To use the extension  simply call  view leftDrawable R drawable my drawable    Anytime you need to clear  don t pass a param or make another extension called removeDrawables
