Answer 1

What you can do is set an drawableLeft as you did in your xml and add an addTextChangedListener to your EditText. When typing occurs this listener will be warned and you can check in the listener if the textsize is bigger than 0. If so, then just set the drawableLeft assigned in the xml programmatically to null.

@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
    if(s.toString().length() > 0) {
        editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
    } else {
        //Assign your image again to the view, otherwise it will always be gone even if the text is 0 again.
        editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.image, 0, 0, 0);
    }
}
