How to set height and width of compound drawable textview in xml?

I can't see any tag to set width

Here I set textview height, if I set width it will not work properly.

<TextView
   android:id="@+id/nome"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
   android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_launcher"
   android:height="50dp" />

How can I set this in xml? Is it possible?

try setting to android:width="50dip" and see what you get. dip is device independent pixels. You should be able to see in eclipse in design view. You cannot just set to "300"

You can try something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >


<TextView
    android:id="@+id/Home"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="Something"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

<ImageView 
    android:src="@drawable/icon" 
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/Home"/>

</RelativeLayout>

This way I think you would have more control of your image. Hope that helps.
