Android: How to set drawablePadding programmatically?

Here is my code in xml layout:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/mail_message_content_field"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Medium Text"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/attachment"
    android:drawablePadding="10dp"
    android:gravity="center|left"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

The same way I want to change drawablePadding for drawable programmatically. How to do this?


You can get refernce of ur text view and then can set

UrTextView.setCompoundDrawablePadding(your padding value);

textView.setCompoundDrwablePadding(takes_only_one_argument_for_all_side_padding);
