Its very simple  Lets say you have a drawable on left side of your EditText  txtsearch   Following will do the trick   EditText txtsearch    EditText  findViewById R id txtsearch   txtsearch setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener          Override     public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event            if event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION UP                if event getRawX    lt   txtsearch getTotalPaddingLeft                         your action for drawable click event               return true                                  return false              If you want for right drawable change the if statement to   if event getRawX    gt   txtsearch getRight   - txtsearch getTotalPaddingRight      Similarly  you can do it for all compound drawables   txtsearch getTotalPaddingTop   txtsearch getTotalPaddingBottom     This method call returns all the padding on that side including any drawables  You can use this even for TextView  Button etc   Click here for reference from android developer site

That last contribution s use of contains x y  won t work directly on the result of getBounds    except  by coincidence  when using  left  drawables   The getBounds method only provides the Rect defining points of the drawable item normalized with origin at 0 0 - so  you actually need to do the math of the original post to find out if the click is in the area of the drawable in the context of the containing EditText s dimensions  but change it for top  right  left etc  Alternatively you could describe a Rect that has coordinates actually relative to its position in the EditText container and use contains    although in the end you re doing the same math   Combining them both gives you a pretty complete solution  I only added an instance attribute consumesEvent that lets the API user decide if the click event should be passed on or not by using its result to set ACTION CANCEL or not   Also  I can t see why the bounds and actionX  actionY values are instance attributes rather than just local on the stack   Here s a cutout from an implementation based on the above that I put together  It fixes an issue that to properly consume the event you need to return false  It adds a  fuzz  factor to  In my use case of a Voice control icon in an EditText field  I found it hard to click  so the fuzz increases the effective bounds that are considered clicking the drawable  For me 15 worked well  I only needed drawableRight so I didn t plug the math in the others  to save some space  but you see the idea   package com example android   import android content Context  import android graphics drawable Drawable  import android util AttributeSet  import android util Log  import android view MotionEvent  import android widget EditText  import android graphics Rect   import com example android DrawableClickListener   public class ClickableButtonEditText extends EditText     public static final String LOG TAG    ClickableButtonEditText      private Drawable drawableRight    private Drawable drawableLeft    private Drawable drawableTop    private Drawable drawableBottom    private boolean consumeEvent   false    private int fuzz   0     private DrawableClickListener clickListener     public ClickableButtonEditText Context context  AttributeSet attrs  int defStyle        super context  attrs  defStyle          public ClickableButtonEditText Context context  AttributeSet attrs        super context  attrs          public ClickableButtonEditText Context context        super context          public void consumeEvent         this setConsumeEvent true          public void setConsumeEvent boolean b        this consumeEvent   b         public void setFuzz int z        this fuzz   z         public int getFuzz         return fuzz          Override   public void setCompoundDrawables Drawable left  Drawable top  Drawable right  Drawable bottom        if  right    null          drawableRight   right             if  left    null          drawableLeft   left            super setCompoundDrawables left  top  right  bottom           Override   public boolean onTouchEvent MotionEvent event        if  event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION DOWN          int x  y        Rect bounds        x    int  event getX          y    int  event getY             this works for left since container shares 0 0 origin with bounds       if  drawableLeft    null            bounds   drawableLeft getBounds            if  bounds contains x - fuzz  y - fuzz               clickListener onClick DrawableClickListener DrawablePosition LEFT             if  consumeEvent                event setAction MotionEvent ACTION CANCEL               return false                                else if  drawableRight    null            bounds   drawableRight getBounds            if  x  gt    this getRight   - bounds width   - fuzz   amp  amp  x  lt    this getRight   - this getPaddingRight     fuzz                  amp  amp  y  gt    this getPaddingTop   - fuzz   amp  amp  y  lt    this getHeight   - this getPaddingBottom      fuzz               clickListener onClick DrawableClickListener DrawablePosition RIGHT             if  consumeEvent                event setAction MotionEvent ACTION CANCEL               return false                                else if  drawableTop    null               not impl reader exercise            else if  drawableBottom    null               not impl reader exercise                       return super onTouchEvent event           Override   protected void finalize   throws Throwable       drawableRight   null      drawableBottom   null      drawableLeft   null      drawableTop   null      super finalize           public void setDrawableClickListener DrawableClickListener listener        this clickListener   listener

For anyone who does not want to implement the monstrous click handling  You can achieve the same with a RelativeLayout  With that you even have free handling of the positioning of the drawable      lt RelativeLayout      android layout width  match parent       android layout height  wrap content  gt       lt android support design widget TextInputLayout       android layout width  match parent        android layout height  wrap content  gt         lt android support design widget TextInputEditText        android layout width  match parent         android layout height  wrap content          gt        lt  android support design widget TextInputLayout gt        lt ImageView        android layout width  wrap content         android layout height  wrap content         android layout alignParentEnd  true         android layout centerInParent  true         android src   drawable ic undo   gt       lt  RelativeLayout gt    The ImageView position will be the same as you would use drawableEnd - plus you don t need all the touch listener handling  Just a click listener for the ImageView and you are good to go

I think it is much more easier if we use some tricks      Create a image button with your icon and set its background     color to be transparent  Put the image button on the EditText and of coz the right hand side Implement the onclick listener of the button to execute your function   Done

Kotlin is a great language where each class could be extended with new methods  Lets introduce new method for EditText class which will catch clicks to right drawable   fun EditText onRightDrawableClicked onClicked   view  EditText  - gt  Unit    this setOnTouchListener   v  event - gt      var hasConsumed   false     if  v is EditText            if  event x  gt   v width - v totalPaddingRight                if  event action    MotionEvent ACTION UP                    onClicked this                            hasConsumed   true                     hasConsumed       You can see it takes callback function as argument which is called when user clicks to right drawable   val username   findViewById lt EditText gt  R id username text      username onRightDrawableClicked           it text clear

I created a useful abstract class DrawableClickListener which implements OnTouchListener   In addition to the DrawableClickListener class  I also created 4 additional abstract classes which extend the DrawableClickListener class and handle the clicking of the drawable area for the correct quadrant    LeftDrawableClickListener TopDrawableClickListener RightDrawableClickListener BottomDrawableClickListener     Point to Consider  One thing to consider is that the images are not resized if done this way  thus the images must be scaled correctly before being put into the res drawable folder s    If you define a LinearLayout containing an ImageView and a TextView  it s a lot easier to manipulate the size of the image being displayed     activity my xml   lt  xml version  1

I know this is quite old  but I recently had to do something similar    After seeing how difficult this is  I came up with a much simpler solution    Create an XML layout that contains the EditText and Image Subclass FrameLayout and inflate the XML layout Add code for the click listener and any other behavior you want   In my case  I needed an EditText that had the ability to clear the text with a button  I wanted it to look like SearchView  but for a number of reasons I didn t want to use that class   The example below shows how I accomplished this  Even though it doesn t have to do with focus change  the principles are the same and I figured it would be more beneficial to post actual working code than to put together an example that may not work exactly as I intended   Here is my layout  clearable edit text xml   lt merge     xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content  gt        lt

constantly need to tweak the padding when the image changes  This way it happens automatically         if   mPaddingSet                final EditText editField    EditText  findViewById R id edit text

Change the drawable resource to whatever you want    In my case it was a gray X Add a focus change listener to the edit text

Using spannable textview buffer could be a solution  Look at this short and to the point tutorial   For one it is much easier to do click events  https   android-designing blogspot com 2017 01 spannable-textview-with-image-clickable html m 1

Compound drawables are not supposed to be clickable   It is cleaner to use separate views in a horizontal LinearLayout and use a click handler on them     lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content          android layout marginTop  15dp          android background   color white          android layout marginLeft  20dp          android layout marginStart  20dp          android layout marginRight  20dp          android layout marginEnd  20dp          android layout gravity  center horizontal          android orientation  horizontal          android translationZ  4dp  gt            lt ImageView             android layout width  wrap content              android layout height  match parent              android background   color white              android minWidth  40dp              android scaleType  center              app srcCompat   drawable ic search map   gt            lt android support design widget TextInputEditText             android id    id search edit              style   style EditText Registration Map              android layout width  0dp              android layout weight  1              android layout height  wrap content              android hint   string hint location search              android imeOptions  actionSearch              android inputType  textPostalAddress              android maxLines  1              android minHeight  40dp    gt            lt ImageView             android id    id location gps refresh              android layout width  wrap content              android layout height  match parent              android background   color white              android minWidth  40dp              android scaleType  center              app srcCompat   drawable selector ic gps   gt   lt  LinearLayout gt

Simply copy paste the following code and it does the trick   editMsg setOnTouchListener new View OnTouchListener              Override         public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event                final int DRAWABLE LEFT   0              final int DRAWABLE TOP   1              final int DRAWABLE RIGHT   2              final int DRAWABLE BOTTOM   3               if event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION UP                    if event getRawX    gt    editMsg getRight   - editMsg getCompoundDrawables   DRAWABLE RIGHT  getBounds   width                              your action here                      Toast makeText ChatActivity this   Message Sent   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                        return true                                              return false

Extending on the idea by RyanM I have created a more flexible version  which supports all the drawable types  top  bottom  left  right   While the code below extends TextView  adapting it for an EditText is just a case of swapping  extends TextView  with  extends EditText   Instantiation the widget from XML is identical as in RyanM s example  bar the widget name     import android content Context  import android graphics drawable Drawable  import android util AttributeSet  import android util Log  import android view MotionEvent  import android widget TextView   import com example DrawableClickListener DrawablePosition   public class ButtonTextView extends TextView    private Drawable    drawableRight  private Drawable    drawableLeft  private Drawable    drawableTop  private Drawable    drawableBottom   private int     actionX  actionY   private DrawableClickListener clickListener   public ButtonTextView Context context  AttributeSet attrs  int defStyle        super context  attrs  defStyle      public ButtonTextView Context context  AttributeSet attrs        super context  attrs      public ButtonTextView Context context        super context       Override public void setCompoundDrawables Drawable left  Drawable top  Drawable right  Drawable bottom        if  right    null            drawableRight   right             if  left    null            drawableLeft   left             if  top    null            drawableTop   top             if  bottom    null            drawableBottom   bottom             super setCompoundDrawables left  top  right  bottom       Override public boolean onTouchEvent MotionEvent event         if  event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION DOWN            actionX    int  event getX            actionY    int  event getY             if  drawableBottom    null  amp  amp  drawableBottom getBounds   contains actionX  actionY                 clickListener onClick DrawablePosition BOTTOM               return super onTouchEvent event                      if  drawableTop    null  amp  amp  drawableTop getBounds   contains actionX  actionY                 clickListener onClick DrawablePosition TOP               return super onTouchEvent event                      if  drawableLeft    null  amp  amp  drawableLeft getBounds   contains actionX  actionY                 clickListener onClick DrawablePosition LEFT               return super onTouchEvent event                      if  drawableRight    null  amp  amp  drawableRight getBounds   contains actionX  actionY                 clickListener onClick DrawablePosition RIGHT               return super onTouchEvent event                         return super onTouchEvent event       Override protected void finalize   throws Throwable       drawableRight   null      drawableBottom   null      drawableLeft   null      drawableTop   null      super finalize       public void setDrawableClickListener DrawableClickListener listener        this clickListener   listener         The DrawableClickListener is as simple as this   public interface DrawableClickListener    public static enum DrawablePosition   TOP  BOTTOM  LEFT  RIGHT    public void onClick DrawablePosition target         And then the actual implementation   class example implements DrawableClickListener   public void onClick DrawablePosition target        switch  target            case LEFT              doSomethingA                break           case RIGHT              doSomethingB                break           case BOTTOM              doSomethingC                break           case TOP              doSomethingD                break           default              break               p s   If you don t set the listener  touching the TextView will cause a NullPointerException  You may want to add some more paranoia into the code
