Android TextView drawable, change padding between drawable and text?

Question

I am creating a TextView with a drawable underneath, in a GridLayout.

I want to bring the drawable to the middle of the TextView

Answer 1

You can use layer-list.

Before:

Create xml for shape - shape_rectangle.xml :

After:

In xml, there is something like android:right. You can add also top,left,bottom. This way you can give for example: padding left and right to drawable without resizing total height of textView.
