   }
   public Spannable getIconText(Context context, CharSequence text, int index) {
       Spannable spannable = spannableFactory.newSpannable(text);
       if (index>lastIndex) {
           spannable.setSpan(new ImageSpan(context, R.drawable.pwd_bullet),
               index, index + 1,
               Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
       }

   public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
       if (start>4) {
           editText.removeTextChangedListener(this);
           editText.setText(getIconText(getApplicationContext(), s, start));
           editText.addTextChangedListener(this);
           editText.setSelection(s.length());
       }
   }
   
   public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}
   }
   

Answer 1

Create an xml to custom pwd_bullet in drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
    android:id="@+id/layer_list"
    android:drawable="@drawable/pwd_bullet"
    android:width="10dp"
    android:height="10dp"
    android:left="3dp"
    android:bottom="5dp"/>
</layer-list>

Answer 2

There is no need to use padding in this case, Just use a Linear layout since your items are in a straight line, and make sure you set the Linear layout to an orientation and the gravity as below. This worked for me. Good luck

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    <EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="60dp"
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:inputType="text"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:background="@null"
        android:text="Simple Text" />
    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/pwd_bullet.png"/>
</LinearLayout>
