try this,

EditText text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setCompoundDrawables(null,null,getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.check), null);

That's it.

You can use ImageSpan like this...

buildImageSpan(EditText et){
  SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("anystring");
  Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
  d.setBounds(0,0,d.getIntrinsicWidth(), d.getIntrinsicHeight());
  ImageSpan span = new ImageSpan(d, "anystring", ImageSpan.ALIGN_BASELINE);
  ss.setSpan(span, 0, anystring.length, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
  et.setText(et.getText()+ss);
}

Does it also work if i want to attach image bitmap from gallery instead of using drawable in the apps? So the same approach will be ok? – Antoine Murion Sep 22 '15 at 09:47
refer this answers http://stackoverflow.com/a/5834643/3442067 and http://stackoverflow.com/a/12653027/3442067. you can convert image from storage to Drawable. – uday Sep 22 '15 at 09:51

You can set compound drawable top bottom left right using

edittext.setCompoundDrawables(left,top,right, bottom);
