Question

How to set property \"android:drawableTop\" of a button at runtime

Answer 1

If you are using Kotlin, you can use extension method to make things look elegant.

fun TextView.setDrawableTop(iconId: Int) {
    val icon = this.context?.resources?.getDrawable(iconId)
    this.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, icon, null, null)
}

Then you can use it like this:

// myTextView: TextView
myTextView.setDrawableTop(R.drawable.ic_happy)

Answer 2

Create an extension function like this and set top drawable like this

tvAccepted.setTopDrawable(R.drawable.ic_preparing_order_active)

fun TextView.setTopDrawable(icon: Int) {
    this.setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds(0,icon,0,0)
}

where

setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds(left/start, top, right/end, bottom)
