Android: Is it possible to make a drawable left start from the left edge of a button?
<p>I've searched for weeks but there's no answer for this yet. Most suggestions are to use drawablepadding:left, but this only increases the space away from the egde of the button.</p>

<p>I've also tried drawablemargin:left and right, but they don't bring the button closer to the edge. </p>

<p>Here's the button I have;

<p>Here's what I hope to achieve:

<p>here's the xml snippet:</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code> &lt;Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_back"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/back_button_white"
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="90dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@drawable/negative_button"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:paddingRight="10dp"
        android:text="Exit"
        tools:ignore="RtlHardcoded"
        android:textSize="35sp"
        /&gt;</code></pre>
