Is it possible to set the margin or padding for the image which we added with the android:drawableLeft?
This question is related to
android
android-layout
android-drawable
define a shape for your edittext and give it a padding For Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
/>
<solid android:color="#F6F6F6" />
<stroke
android:width="1px"
android:color="#C3C3C3" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="1dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="1dp"
android:topLeftRadius="1dp"
android:topRightRadius="1dp" />
</shape>
The padding defined in this shape will help in give padding to drawableleft or right ---------------------- Apply this shape on EditView
<EditText
android:id="@+id/example"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:background="@drawable/shape2"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/icon1"
android:drawablePadding="@dimen/txtDrwblPadding"
android:ems="10"
/>
using that defined shape as background will give your EditText some style plus margin to drawableLeft.
You can use a padding for the button and you can play with drawablePadding
<Button
style="@style/botonesMenu"
android:padding="15dp"
android:drawablePadding="-15dp"
android:text="@string/actualizarBD"
android:textAlignment="gravity"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_row="1"
android:layout_column="0"
android:drawableTop="@drawable/actualizar"
android:id="@+id/btnActualizar"
android:onClick="actualizarBD" />
you can use a specific padding depends where put your drawable, with android:paddingLeft="10dp" or android:paddingBottom="10dp" or android:paddingRight="10dp" or android:paddingTop="10dp"
Instead of Button use LinearLayout with ImageView and TextView inside. In child items like ImageView and TextView use android:duplicateParentState="true".
You should consider using layer-list
Create a drawable file like this, name it as ic_calendar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="10dp">
<bitmap android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
android:src="@drawable/ic_calendar_16dp"
android:tint="@color/red"
/>
</item>
</layer-list>
Under layout file,
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvDate"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_calendar"
android:textColor="@color/colorGrey"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:background="@drawable/a"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/concern_black"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:text="text"/>
note: layout_width needs to be wrap_content and use paddingLeft paddingRight drawablePadding to control gap. If you specify layout_width value is will has gap between icon and text, I think once give the layout_width a specify value, the padding will measure.
As cephus mentioned android:drawablePadding will only force padding between the text and the drawable if the button is small enough.
When laying out larger buttons you can use android:drawablePadding in conjunction with android:paddingLeft and android:paddingRight to force the text and drawable inward towards the center of the button. By adjusting the left and right padding separately you can make very detailed adjustments to the layout.
Here's an example button that uses padding to push the text and icon closer together than they would be by default:
<Button android:text="@string/button_label"
android:id="@+id/buttonId"
android:layout_width="160dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="13dip"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/button_icon"
android:drawablePadding="2dip"
android:paddingLeft="30dip"
android:paddingRight="26dip"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="center" />
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(AppCompatResources.getDrawable(this,drawable),null,null,null);
addressTitleView.setCompoundDrawablePadding();
android:drawablePadding is the easiest way to give padding to drawable icon but You can not give specific one side padding like paddingRight or paddingLeft of drawable icon.To achieve that you have to dig into it. And If you apply paddingLeft or paddingRight to EditText then it will place padding to entire EditText along with drawable icon.
<TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
android:id="@+id/date"
android:gravity="center|start"
android:drawableEnd="@drawable/ic_calendar"
android:background="@drawable/edit_background"
android:hint="Not Selected"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:paddingStart="10dp"
android:paddingEnd="10dp"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Yes. use drawablePadding as follows,
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvHeader"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Settings and Contents"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/icon_success"
android:drawablePadding="10dp" />
If the size of drawable resouce is fixed, you can do like this:
<Button
android:background="@drawable/rounded_button_green"
style="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_widthPercent="70%"
android:drawableRight="@drawable/ic_clear_black_24dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="34dp"
tools:text="example" />
The key here is that:
android:drawableRight="@drawable/ic_clear_black_24dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="34dp"
That is, the size of drawable resource plus paddingRight is the paddingLeft.
android:drawablePadding is the easiest way to give padding to drawable icon but You can not give specific one side padding like paddingRight or paddingLeft of drawable icon.To achieve that you have to dig into it.
And If you apply paddingLeft or paddingRight to Edittext then it will place padding to entire Edittext along with drawable icon.
android:drawablePadding will only create a padding gap between the text and the drawable if the button is small enough to squish the 2 together. If your button is wider than the combined width (for drawableLeft/drawableRight) or height (for drawableTop/drawableBottom) then drawablePadding doesn't do anything.
I'm struggling with this right now as well. My buttons are quite wide, and the icon is hanging on the left edge of the button and the text is centered in the middle. My only way to get around this for now has been to bake in a margin on the drawable by adding blank pixels to the left edge of the canvas with photoshop. Not ideal, and not really recommended either. But thats my stop-gap solution for now, short of rebuilding TextView/Button.
Tries to use negative padding
Like:
android:paddingLeft="-8dp"
TextView has an android:drawablePadding property which should do the trick:
android:drawablePadding
The padding between the drawables and the text.
Must be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), mm (millimeters).
This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.
This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol drawablePadding.
You can use android:drawableLeft="@drawable/your_icon" to set the drawable to be shown on the left side. In order to set a padding for the drawable you should use the android:paddingLeft or android:paddingRight to set the left/right padding respectively.
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:drawableRight="@drawable/ic_app_manager"
I'll throw my answer into the ring as well. If you want to do this programmatically you can do the following.
final Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.somedrawable);
final boolean isLTR = ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR == ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(this);
final int iconInsetPadding = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.icon_padding);
final Drawable insetDrawable = new InsetDrawable(drawable, isLTR ? 0 : iconInsetPadding, 0, isLTR ? iconInsetPadding : 0, 0);
This will add the padding to the end of the drawable where end will mean left/right depending if phone is in LTR or RTL.
just remake from:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="40dp"/>
<solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
</shape>
to
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:right="@dimen/_2dp"
android:left="@dimen/_2dp"
android:bottom="@dimen/_2dp"
android:top="@dimen/_2dp"
>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="40dp"/>
<solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Make your drawable resources.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true">
<inset android:drawable="@drawable/small_m" android:insetLeft="10dp" android:insetTop="10dp" />
</item>
<item>
<inset android:drawable="@drawable/small_p" android:insetLeft="10dp" android:insetTop="10dp" />
</item>
</selector>
