Question: is there a way to set padding for the actual text that is contained in TextView so that the compound drawables don't get the padding too? Other solution would be to lock the width of text.

Quite simple android:drawablePadding="5dp" It will automatically use the padding according to the direction Gio I'm posting this as an answer so that someone, who comes across this post
