I have an EditText with TextInputLayout. I am setting an image at drawable left, but when I set it the floating hint text also moving towards right. Please see the below screenshot:

I want the view looks like below:

If anybody has idea on how to fix it, please help me.

Xml code below:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/input_layout_cardnum"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/cardnumEditText"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textColor="@color/darkGray"
                android:maxLength="255"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:hint="@string/cardNum" 
                android:drawableLeft="@drawable/card_generic"/>
        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

so what you want ? – Amit Vaghela Apr 14 '16 at 09:58
I want the label should be aligned to left, ie inline with the drawable. Now the label is coming after the drwable. – Aju Apr 15 '16 at 09:29
