How to set drawable left in android compose Text ?

[rsktash]

You can draw Icon and Text in a Row

[Chethan]

I have adopted this , I am looking for the one we have TextView , we can set drawable with drawable padding

[rsktash]

In a input field there is leading and trailing composables which can be used for icons
The same could be implemented for text by yourself

[rsktash]

We should stop thinking in traditional way where for every situation there is a custom view
Compose is dynamic

Yes, TextView compound drawables is one specific API we did not want to repeat in compose 🙂 it was a great example of a view doing far too much beyond its core responsibility instead of encouraging composition of simpler elements
