Calling setCompoundDrawables() doesn't display the Compound Drawable

I needed to be using setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds.

Use This (I tested). It works good

Drawable image = context.getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.ic_action );
int h = image.getIntrinsicHeight(); 
int w = image.getIntrinsicWidth();   
image.setBounds( 0, 0, w, h );
button.setCompoundDrawables( image, null, null, null );

Image is blank because it hasn't got specified bounds. You may use setCompoundDrawables() but before you should specify image's bounds, using Drawable.setBounds() method
