Sample Image EditText with Mic

You can create customView that vill extend View class and inside that view add EditText and Button. Then in XML use Tag View to reserve space for your controll and you can add it programatically in code behind. It would be nested like — user3455363, Sep 10 '14 at 10:01

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.8"
        android:background="@drawable/dialog_edt"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:weightSum="1" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/edt_Contact"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_weight="0.8"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:inputType="number|text|numberDecimal"
            android:paddingLeft="2dp"
            android:singleLine="true" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/iv_Mic"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.2"
            android:src="@drawable/mic" />
</LinearLayout>

This way you can make a clickListener of Mic to do some stuff.

You can create an edittext in xml and apply the right drwable for the edittext. This will look like the same. hope this piece of code will help you...

<EditText
            android:id="@+id/et_diesel_filtername"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:drawableRight="your mic icon" />
