How to set an image's width and height when it's set in drawableLeft

Question

I set an image to a RadioButton's drawableLeft, but it's to big. I want to set the image's height, width and scaleType in order to let it looks ok, just like in an ImageView:

android:layout_width="30dip"
android:layout_height="30dip"
android:scaleType="fitXY"

But i find there are no attributions for image when it's set in drawableLeft.

Is there any ways to solve this.

Is it possible to handle this in XML ?

what do you want to change height of radio button or your image? — Abhishek, Dec 16 '15 at 09:22
@Abhishek I just want to change the size of the image, not the radio button. — L. Swifter, Dec 17 '15 at 01:02

I think this should work:

Drawable drawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(id);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, 30, 30);
radioButton.setCompoundDrawables(drawable, null, null, null);

@L.Swifter For that you have to create your own custom view.. [Go to this link](http://developer.android.com/training/custom-views/index.html) – Chintan Soni Dec 17 '15 at 05:06

AFAIK, You will not get all the proporties of an ImageView in drawableLeft. You have to use FrameLayout or RelativeLayout with ImageView and RadioButton for this purpose

You can use android:drawablePadding to get padding between the text and the drawable

you mean there is no way to solve this without a ViewGroup ? – L. Swifter Dec 17 '15 at 01:07
