Android Mobile Development Apps/Applications

This example demonstrate about how can I add an image on EditText.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:gravity="center"
   android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <EditText
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
      android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
      android:paddingStart="5dp"
      android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"
      android:drawableRight="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
      android:paddingLeft="5dp" />
</LinearLayout>

In the above code, we have taken edit text and added background as background.xml.

Step 3 − Add the following code to drawable/ background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
   <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
   <stroke
      android:width="1dp"
      android:color="#2f6699" />
   <corners
      android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run icon from the toolbar.
