android:drawableLeft margin and/or padding

android:drawablePadding is the easiest way to give padding to drawable icon but You can not give specific one side padding like paddingRight or paddingLeft of drawable icon.To achieve that you have to dig into it. And If you apply paddingLeft or paddingRight to EditText then it will place padding to entire EditText along with drawable icon.

<TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:id="@+id/date"
    android:gravity="center|start"
    android:drawableEnd="@drawable/ic_calendar"
    android:background="@drawable/edit_background"
    android:hint="Not Selected"
    android:drawablePadding="10dp"
    android:paddingStart="10dp"
    android:paddingEnd="10dp"
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="32dp"
    android:background="@drawable/a"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/concern_black"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="10dp"
    android:drawablePadding="10dp"
    android:text="text"/>

note: layout_width needs to be wrap_content and use paddingLeft paddingRight drawablePadding to control gap. If you specify layout_width value is will has gap between icon and text, I think once give the layout_width a specify value, the padding will measure.

Another easy solution can be achieved by inset layerlist

layered_drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item>
        <inset
            android:insetRight="30dp"
            android:drawable="@drawable/ic_air_date">
        </inset>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Button in XML

<Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/layered_drawable"
    android:text="something" />

just remake from:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <corners android:radius="40dp"/>

    <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>

</shape>

to

<layer-list
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
            android:right="@dimen/_2dp"
            android:left="@dimen/_2dp"
            android:bottom="@dimen/_2dp"
            android:top="@dimen/_2dp"
            >
        <shape
                xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

            <corners android:radius="40dp"/>

            <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>

        </shape>
    </item>

</layer-list>
