Align drawable image inside a text view to center

Question

I have a textview which holds an image and some text.

programmatically i have added the drawable image to the left side of text view

txtIDFav.setCompound         


        

Answer 1

I assume it is happened because the width of textView is set to match_parent or fill_parent. Try setting textView width to wrap_content and center the whole textView not only text.

Layout:

Activity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        TextView textViewTest=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textViewTest);
        textViewTest.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, 0, 0, 0);
    }
}

Result
