Compound Drawable And Seterror Problematic

Im using this library: https://github.com/lisawray/passwordview to toggle password on/off. Im also using setError when the password is false. It works from start. I enter a false p

Solution 1:

You can make this work if you override the setError() method in your custom EditText implementation and remove the compound drawable on the right, before calling super.setError(). Also don't forget to set it back afterwards.

Example:

@OverridepublicvoidsetError(CharSequence error, Drawable icon) {
    Drawable[] drawables = getCompoundDrawables();
    setCompoundDrawables(drawables[0], drawables[1], null, drawables[3]);

    super.setError(error, icon);

    setCompoundDrawables(drawables[0], drawables[1], drawables[2], drawables[3]);
}

This way the right drawable will still be able to toggle after the error disappears.
