android drawableLeft margin and or padding

Question

Is it possible to set the margin or padding for the image which we added with the android drawableLeft

User · Answer

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"

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

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    lt 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    gt

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

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   lt TextView android layout width  quot match parent quot      android padding  quot 5dp quot      android id  quot   id date quot      android gravity  quot center start quot      android drawableEnd  quot  drawable ic calendar quot      android background  quot  drawable edit background quot      android hint  quot Not Selected quot      android drawablePadding  quot 10dp quot      android paddingStart  quot 10dp quot      android paddingEnd  quot 10dp quot      android textColor  quot  color black quot      android layout height  quot wrap content quot   gt

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

You should consider using layer-list  Create a drawable file like this  name it as ic calendar xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt layer-list xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt   lt item gt       lt shape android shape  rectangle  gt           lt solid android color   android color transparent   gt       lt  shape gt   lt  item gt   lt item android right  10dp  gt       lt bitmap android gravity  center vertical left          android src   drawable ic calendar 16dp          android tint   color red            gt   lt  item gt   lt  layer-list gt    Under layout file    lt 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         gt
