Kotlin VersionUse below snippet to add a drawable left to the button:
val drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_favorite_white_16dp)

.
Important Point in Using Android Vector DrawableWhen 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)
}
}
