Drawable myDrawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn); btn.setCompoundDrawables(myDrawable, null, null, null); Any thoughts? I needed to be using setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds . aryan bahmani 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

I am trying to change programmatically the color of the selectable_kachel_shape .
