How to change the position of the show password icon in layout

I want to change the position of the eye-icon to the left.

inputype of edittext as textPassword

I'm developing an Arabic app, so the text inside the EditText will be aligned to the right. Any idea on how to do this?

My code:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txt_password"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="34dp"
        android:hint="@string/prompt_password"
        android:imeActionLabel="@string/action_sign_in"
        android:imeOptions="actionUnspecified"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:maxLines="1" />

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Use android:gravity="right" in EditText, the text inside the EditText will be aligned to the right.
