How can I add an image on EditText?

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>
