title: Set Image on Left side of EditText in Android
body: <p>I am having one contact form in which I would like to add some icons to my edit text for a better look. I want to create EditText something like below.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cQMAm.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I have EditText like below. And I got the result something like. I want the image to be absolutely on the left side as it is in the above image. I know that internally EditText is using Nine Patch image and i think that is why the result is some what different. Can anyone know how to resolve this?</p>
