[FIXED] Move the icon on an EditText - Java in Android

Issue

I just added an icon to my EditText, but unfortunately I can't move it further to the right, what can I do?

activity_main.xml

    <EditText
    android:id="@+id/inserisciNumero"
    android:hint="Numero di telefono"
    android:layout_width="321dp"
    android:layout_height="46dp"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/iconatelefono"
    android:drawablePadding="12dp"
    android:background="@drawable/sottofondoedit"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="36dp"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="183dp" />

My case

Solution

Add start padding as follows:

android:paddingStart="12dp"

This will move everything to the right in your EditText including the drawable.
