Handling click events on a drawable within an EditText

Actually you don’t need to extend any class. Let’s say I have an EditText editComment with a drawableRight

editComment.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
        final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
        final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
        final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;

        if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            if(event.getRawX() >= (editComment.getRight() - editComment.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
                // your action here

                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
});

we getRawX() because we want to get the actual position of touch on screen, not relative to parent.

To get left side click

if(event.getRawX() <= (editComment.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_LEFT].getBounds().width()))
