How to remove drawableleft
Add a Kotlin Extension
If you are going to be doing this frequently, adding an extension makes your code more readable
fun TextView.clearDrawables() {
this.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0)
}
To use the extension, simply call
view.clearDrawables()
We can sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the left of, above, to the right of, and below the text.
Use 0 or null if you do not want a Drawable there.
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
The Drawables' bounds will be set to their intrinsic bounds.
Calling this method will overwrite any Drawables previously set using
{@link #setCompoundDrawablesRelative}
or related methods.
And if we wants to set Drawables then we can use :
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( R.drawable.smiley, 0, 0, 0);
The drawables of a TextView
can be set programatically via the setCompoundDrawables method.
So you could try this:
textView.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, null);
Or
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, null, null);
The drawableLeft
(or any of the similar attributes) XML attribute can be modified (removing a drawable
in your case) via code using something like this:
yourTextView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
yourTextView.setText("The Text You Need In There");
The constructor for the method is in this order:
setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds (int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
