Gap between left drawable and text in a EditText
You should add android:drawablePadding
attribute to your EditText
. Example layout with 10dp
drawable padding:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/sign_up_edittext_vertical_top_margin"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/email_drawable"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:singleLine="true" />
to move the drawable icon left or right use android:paddingLeft
or android:paddingRight
do not use android:drawablePadding
When you set any drawable using android:drawableLeft
/ android:drawableRight
property then you can add space or gap using android:drawablePadding
property.
<EditText
android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/sign_up_edittext_vertical_top_margin"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/email_drawable"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:drawablePadding="5dp" // set your padding or gap size here
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:singleLine="true" />
