What is getCompoundDrawables() in Android?

Issue

How getCompoundDrawables() is used in Android:

if(mEditText.getCompoundDrawables()[2] == null)
    mEditText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.ic_face, 0);

I wanted to check whether there is a drawable in EditText at the end of it. Is the if condition giving the correct result?

Solution

Yes this is the correct way to find out whether a compound drawable is set or not.
