How to add icon inside EditText view in Android ?
Use the android:drawableLeft property on the EditText.
<EditText
...
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/my_icon" />
You can set drawableLeft in the XML as suggested by marcos, but you might also want to set it programmatically - for example in response to an event. To do this use the method setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrincisBounds(int, int, int, int):
EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
// Set drawables for left, top, right, and bottom - send 0 for nothing
editTxt.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.myDrawable, 0, 0, 0);
