android drawableleft in switch too big

I have a switch I've defined in an XML file, and in it I'm setting

amdroid:drawableLeft="@drawable/my_image

However the image is way too big and overflows the screen. Is there someway to resize the drawable in XML or does it need to be done programmatically?

Solution

  • The best option is to resize the actual image and have an icon-sized version of it. This will improve performance and reduce memory usage by removing the need to resample the image.

    Failing that, you can set the drawable programmatically:

    Drawable icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.my_image);
icon.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
myView.setCompoundDrawables(icon, 0, 0, 0);
