Use ImageSpan

Just like SpannableStrings, you can also use ImageSpan to add to your EditText. 

Spannable span = new SpannableString("Some text that you want to add");
Drawable android = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.sampeImage);
android.setBounds(0, 0, 32,32);
ImageSpan image = new ImageSpan(android, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BASELINE);
span.setSpan(image, 3, 4, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
editTextView.setText(span);

Just like above you can have any drawable and add this to span. and then set this span to edit textview

  • You can open gallery and allow user to select image from that. Refer this link for the same. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38352148/get-image-from-the-gallery-and-show-in-imageview – Avtar Guleria Jan 30 '18 at 08:15

  • Convert bitmap to drawable and use it in above code. Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), bitmap); – Avtar Guleria Jan 30 '18 at 10:00
