Lint warning Android

This tag and its children can be replaced by one and a compound drawable

Issue: Checks whether the current node can be replaced by a TextView using compound drawables.

A LinearLayout which contains an ImageView and a TextView can be more efficiently handled as a compound drawable

I am getting this lint warning in one of my Layout.I am not getting what does it mean by Compound Layout.Please explain or provide any suitable links.

Sometimes image's styling is too complex, to use it just as compound drawable along with textView, so, the best decision here is to ignore that warning:

<LinearLayout
    ...
    tools:ignore="UseCompoundDrawables" />

You can replace your 'complex' layout with just one view:

<TextView
     android:id="@+id/textViewId"
     ...
     android:drawableLeft="@drawable/drawableName" />
