Problem
Hello I am trying to add left drawable in `Spinner` but I didn't find any propery for this as you do same in `EditText` using `android:drawableLeft="@drawable/password_drawable"`. Is there any correct way to achieve same in `Spinner` in Android. Here in my case there should be left drawable only this state which I gave in the screenshot, when user click on the Spinner I don't want to have left drawable there in open drop down list in `Spinner` I'm trying like this where there is no such attribute ``` <Spinner android:id="@+id/selectSpinner" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/sign_up_views_vertical_top_margin" android:background="@drawable/edittext_border" /> ``` I want something like below screenshot Currently it is looking like below and when I set the background of the `Spinner` then it looks like ``` <Spinner android:id="@+id/selectSpinner" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/sign_up_views_vertical_top_margin" android:background="@drawable/selectone_drawable" android:entries="@array/select_type" /> ``` Thanks in advance
