I want to place imageview inside edittext. Would it be possible? I checked "evernote" application, and it was able to put photo on the edittext part. I want to make my application exactly as same. How would I be able to put imageview that was chosen from the gallery, and place the photo inside edittext?

I first tried to put imageview inside relativelayout in .xml file, but it threw me a error sign.

Should I do on .xml file? Or should I make my own edittext java file in order to do that?

  • When I put drawable layout, how can I manipulate that drawable thing inside my java file? Moreover, I tested out drawable, the problem was that the image that I put was visible.. I want to make it invisible first, and whenever the client puts the image in, I want to show that image.. Thanks! – justtookoff Jul 18 '17 at 19:25

Use this:

<EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/edit_text"
        android:drawablePadding="8dp"
        android:drawableRight="@drawable/yourImage"/>

you can use drawable left,right,top or bottom of your text according to your need.

To manipulate in java use this:

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditTextId);
editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(left,top,right,bottom);

for manipulating image set on right:

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0,0,R.drawable.yournewimage,0);

similarly you can do it for other cases.

Hope it helps!!!

you can use following property of editext to set image in editext 

android:drawableTop=""
android:drawableBottom=""
android:drawableRight=""
android:drawableLeft=""
android:drawableEnd=""

like this

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:drawableTop="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableBottom="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableRight="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableLeft="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableEnd="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>

or you can set drabble programatically like this

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.drawableRight, 0);
