Set Image on Left side of EditText in Android

Question

I am having one contact form in which I would like to add some icons to my edit text for a better look. I want to create EditText something like below.

Answer 1

Instead of using android:drawableLeft="@drawable/name_icon_edittext", create separateImageView for the name_icon. This way you have more control on placing it on the layout

Note: I am assuming your layout is RelativeLayout
