setCompoundDrawable to add Drawables to TextView

Finally trying to get a couple new posts up, have a bunch of material just not a lot of free time to get ‘em posted.  Here’s a quick and easy one.

I was using the setCompoundDrawable method for a TextView to set an image to the left of some text, I was hoping it was going to be as easy as loading the drawable and calling

txtVw.setCompoundDrawables( img, null, null, null );

Unfortunately nothing showed up, and I had no internet connection at the time, so I was left to fumble around trying a bunch of different things…nothing worked.  Finally, after getting to work and looking at some existing code from a co-worker, I found out that using setBounds will define a bounding rectangle around the image.  So the final lines of code look like…

Drawable img = getContext().getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.smiley );
img.setBounds( 0, 0, 60, 60 );
txtVw.setCompoundDrawables( img, null, null, null );

UPDATE: See comments to make this even easier, thanks Romain Guy and Nerdrow
