Button and drawable left

I create button in xml file like this:

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/call_button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:background="@drawable/button"
        android:layout_weight="40" 
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/symbol_phone"
        android:paddingLeft="20dp"
        android:drawablePadding="-25dp"
        android:text="Call"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        />

I would like to know how I can do drawableLeft in activity. I know that is stupid but I need do this in activity because I create button there. How I can do the same what I have in xml file in my activity? I need add drawableLeft and drawable padding and padding left. This is how I create button in activity

 Button button1 = new Button(this);
 button1.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(buttonWidth, buttonHeight));
 button1.setText(systemTexts.getShowCallButton());
 button1.setBackgroundDrawable(new                                      
 button1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor(buttonTextColor));

You can try this:

txtVw.setCompoundDrawables(R.drawable.img_nature, 0, 0, 0);

Drawable image = getContext().getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.icon );
image.setBounds( 0, 0, 60, 60 );
button.setCompoundDrawables( image, null, null, null );

do this

Update:

Since getContext().getResources().getDrawable is now deprecated, use this instead:

  Drawable image = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(),R.drawable.icon);
  image.setBounds( 0, 0, 60, 60 );
  button.setCompoundDrawables( image, null, null, null );

You can use below code 

<Button android:text="@string/button_label" 
android:id="@+id/buttonId"
android:layout_width="160dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="13dip"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/button_icon"
android:drawablePadding="2dip"
android:paddingLeft="30dip"
android:paddingRight="26dip"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="center" />

It will manage by padding ti text and image both

The way to programmatically set drawableLeft is with setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds.

You can set the padding with setPadding

The docs show the corresponding java method for all xml tags.

Try this,

Drawable icon= getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon);
button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(icon, null, null, null);
