Put Images in Any View Components in Android

Here we'll learn how we can put images to any view components like textView, buttons, editText etc... in android studio.



Let's see example

activity_main.xml



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="9dp"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:drawableLeft="@mipmap/person"
        android:hint="  Person" />

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:drawableLeft="@mipmap/warning"
        android:hint="  Warning" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:drawableLeft="@android:drawable/btn_star"
        android:text=" Button 1" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:drawableRight="@android:drawable/btn_star"
        android:text=" Button 2  " />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:drawableTop="@android:drawable/btn_star"
        android:text=" Button 3" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:drawableBottom="@android:drawable/btn_star"
        android:text=" Button 4" />


</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

package com.example.malik.blog;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    }

}

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    package="com.example.malik.blog">

    <application

        android:allowBackup="true"

        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

        android:label="@string/app_name"

        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"

        android:supportsRtl="true"

        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity

            android:name=".MainActivity"

            android:screenOrientation="portrait">

            <intent-filter>

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>
