Answer 2

you can use following property of editext to set image in editext

android:drawableTop=""
android:drawableBottom=""
android:drawableRight=""
android:drawableLeft=""
android:drawableEnd=""

like this

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:drawableTop="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableBottom="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableRight="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableLeft="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:drawableEnd="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>

or you can set drabble programatically like this

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.drawableRight, 0);

Answer 3

Use this:

<EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/edit_text"
        android:drawablePadding="8dp"
        android:drawableRight="@drawable/yourImage"/>

you can use drawable left,right,top or bottom of your text according to your need.

To manipulate in java use this:

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditTextId);
editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(left,top,right,bottom);

for manipulating image set on right:

editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0,0,R.drawable.yournewimage,0);

similarly you can do it for other cases.

Hope it helps!!!
