Drawable padding doesn't work

Issue

I've got the following xml:

  <AutoCompleteTextView
                android:id="@+id/searchQuery"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="30dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:drawablePadding="25dp"
                android:drawableRight="@drawable/ic_search_black_18dp"
                android:ems="8"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
                android:inputType="text" />

I want to make icon move, but drawablePadding has no effect. What is wrong?

Solution

drawablePadding is padding between the drawable and rest of your widget. use padding attribute to provide padding around your widget including drawable.
