Set All Position is Zero Your Drawable item is remove

Its Working Using This setOnFocusChangeListener method

et_feedback.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0,0, 0, 0);

et_feedback.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                //TODO using this Drawable icon remomve  onclick
                et_feedback.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0,0, 0, 0);
                et_feedback.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);

            }
        });

Add a Kotlin Extension

If you are going to be doing this frequently, adding an extension makes your code more readable

fun TextView.clearDrawables() {
    this.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0)
}

To use the extension, simply call

view.clearDrawables()

Answer 3

We can sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the left of, above, to the right of, and below the text.

Use 0 or null if you do not want a Drawable there.

 textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);

The Drawables' bounds will be set to their intrinsic bounds.

Calling this method will overwrite any Drawables previously set using {@link #setCompoundDrawablesRelative} or related methods.

And if we wants to set Drawables then we can use :

textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( R.drawable.smiley, 0, 0, 0);

How to do this and apply to any of the four drawables with DataBinding

@BindingAdapter(value = [
"leftDrawable",
"topDrawable",
"rightDrawable",
"bottomDrawable"], requireAll = false)
fun setCompoundDrawables(textView: TextView,
                     @DrawableRes left: Int?,
                     @DrawableRes top: Int?,
                     @DrawableRes right: Int?,
                     @DrawableRes bottom: Int?) {

textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
    left ?: 0,
    top ?: 0,
    right ?: 0,
    bottom ?: 0
)}

Answer 5

The drawables of a TextView can be set programatically via the setCompoundDrawables method.

So you could try this:

textView.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, null);

Or

textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, null, null);

Answer 6

The drawableLeft (or any of the similar attributes) XML attribute can be modified (removing a drawable in your case) via code using something like this:

yourTextView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
yourTextView.setText("The Text You Need In There");

The constructor for the method is in this order:

setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds (int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
